We had a wonderful stay at this home! The house was extremely clean, comfortable, and very well stocked with everything we needed. The decor was soothing and inviting, and the luxurious blankets and towels made it feel extra special. There was plenty of space for our whole group to relax comfortably.The location was also fantastic — within walking distance to downtown, a nearby grocery store, and even a Sunday farmers market. Everything was so convenient and enjoyable.The host was also very quick to respond and easy to communicate with, which made our stay even better.We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing and comfortable stay!
Very clean! Loved the layout and the newness of the property! You can tell is whoever did the designing knew what they were doing! Very modern! The host was wonderful! We had a slight issue checking in and getting the access code, but that’s overlooked by how wonderful the property is. Family friendly for sure with the bunk beds and two king beds! Love it!
