Fantastic stay from start to finish. The house was beautifully decorated, super clean and very comfortable. You can tell the hosts thought of every detail — even down to the good toilet paper Everything felt welcoming and well put together. We didn’t get to enjoy the gorgeous back yard because of rain, but it was definitely a lovely oasis.

My husband and I stayed here for a relaxing long weekend. It was fantastic! The property was as described with many little extras. Things we especially loved were the covered deck (beautiful place to sip coffee in the morning), the hot tub (great way to end a long day, and the location (an easy walk to downtown). Communication with Rachel was always very friendly and prompt.We definitely want to come back to Bristol and would love to stay here again!Thank you!

Carrie, thank you so much for your thoughtful review! It makes us so happy to hear you enjoyed the little extras, and that the covered porch became your morning coffee spot and the hot tub was the perfect way to unwind after a day exploring. We're also glad the walkable location made it easy to enjoy downtown Bristol. It was a pleasure hosting you both, and we'd absolutely love to welcome you back the next time you're in town. Safe travels until then!

If you’re traveling to Bristol this is the place to stay. Close to everything with a private backyard oasis that makes you feel like you’re far away from the crowds. The communication with owners is the best I’ve experienced by far. We always stay at private owned homes when traveling, this place and owners exceeded our expectations. The snacks, coffee, and all the little extras was icing on the cake. We will be back!

We really enjoyed our stay in this attractive, well-kept, and very comfortable property. The kitchen was spotless and reasonably well-equipped. All of the appliances and mechanical systems worked exactly as expected. The outdoor spaces were a wonderful bonus — we loved the covered deck, the inviting firepit area, the hot tub, and the convenient outdoor dining setup. The host was exceptionally responsive and genuinely helpful throughout our stay. When we return to Bristol, this will be our first choice for a place to stay.

We liked the location and the size was perfect for the two of us. The beds were too soft IMO and sloped toward the center so we ended up each sleeping in one bed.

Hello April, we are glad to hear the the location and size of the home was perfect for your stay. We are sorry, and surprised, to hear that the beds were soft and sloping. We have had guests rave about how comfortable the beds are and even asked what type of mattresses we use and where they can get them. We will, however, evaluate them further when we are there in person very soon. We hope to host you again in the future.
