Appreciate that. Smooth, easy stays are exactly how it’s meant to feel at The Emerald Den. Glad everything lined up for you—door’s always open when you’re back in town.
Our stay was excellent! The host was responsive and helpful throughout the booking and stay process. The apartment is clean and well appointed. Our son (9) appreciated the Nintendo Switch that was available for his use during our stay. The beds and couch are very soft! While the neighborhood may have been slightly sketchy in the past, it was quiet during our stay.

Thank you so much for staying with us, Gabrielle, and for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback. We’re glad your family felt comfortable, enjoyed the space, and that your son had fun with the Switch — those little touches matter to us.
We also appreciate your note about the neighborhood. Like many established areas, it has its history, but we’re grateful you experienced a quiet, peaceful stay during your visit, which is the standard we work hard to maintain.
Thank you again for choosing our veteran-owned home. You were a pleasure to host, and you’re always welcome back at The Emerald Den.
We stopped on our way to South Carolina for the night. It was in a great location - quiet neighborhood. The host was always available when we had questions - no matter how big or small. He had recommendations for local restaurants and things to do. He thought of everything from coffee station to toiletries you may have forgotten. In a good location to the highway. This is a great place to stay for the night or for an extended stay.
