Jennifer was so east to work with and so helpful. The place is adorable and well stocked with any items you might need. The backyard firepit was a great place to hang out with plenty of seating. Beds were comfortable and plenty of blanket all over... super cozy. We will definitely stay again!Stairs were little steep but well lit and they even provided a gate for safety.Also great recommendations for food in walking distance.

The host was fabulous and gave us ideas of places to go and to eat. She was so helpful and nice. This house is beautiful. So well appointed. The coffee bar was fantastic. The back yard was a dream. We loved the way the house was decorated. It was nice and quiet and we slept so good. We walked to the deli for breakfast, fabulous, and to an outstanding resteraunt for dinner.

Really nice place to stay in SoKno! You’re literally right down the road from Baker & the Urban Wilderness Trails. It was great to walk on down before breakfast or after dinner. Excellent biking trails. Home was really comfy! Beds were great (one king, one queen on main level). Sheets, towels, blankets were all top notch. Kitchen had everything you’d need and more (mix-master!), coffee options (Keurig & coffee pot). Yard is huge, and the Adirondack chairs around the bonfire were nice. Neighbors on both sides, yet felt very private. Bathroom was very retro, nice shower. Very clean & offers everything you’d need in this fun little neighborhood! Oh, and check out the recreation center right across the street! Yoga, rock climbing, restaurant & bar (we didn’t go, but a lot of ppl were coming and going). Jennifer, the host, was very kind, attentive, and made our stay even more enjoyable. Felt safe and really grateful. 5-STARS!
