This home is a repeated return home for our family. We love the home, set up, the beds, towels, yard (front and back), quiet neighborhood, and most of all, the fire pit in the back yard. It is comfortable and cozy and we LOVE IT!This is a winner for us and we will always return. P.S. We are very picky VRBO renters, so our five-star rating means a LOT!

This was our second stay in this welcoming house and very enjoyable.We did have minor glitch in that, even with the book guidance we were unable to get live tv channels as opposed to streaming. Operator error likely the cause, but did miss one of regular programs. Otherwise, a wonderful place for us and will be booking again for the weekend of Mother's day 2027 for mom daughters time there.

Thank you so much for staying with me again. Im sorry you had trouble with the live TV channels and I will take a look at the instructions to see if I can make them a little easier. So glad you enjoyed your stay and I would love to have you back for your Mother's Day weekend with the girls in 2027. Looking forward to having you again.

Very cute old house in a great part of town. Very quiet, clean, comfortable beds. No toiletries and a chart from the host on how to put the dishes into the cupboard prior to departure, which struck me as somewhat unhospitable especially considering the 120 cleaning fee and the fact that we were left 4 dishwasher pellets for 6 days.

Response from VrboOwner on 26 July 2026
Thanks for your feedback! I'm so glad you enjoyed the house, its quiet location, and found the beds comfortable. I appreciate your comments regarding the toiletries, dishwasher pods, and the dish storage guide. Housekeeping should have left more dishwasher pods for a six-day stay, and I apologize that they did not. The dish guide is simply there to help guests return dishes to the correct cupboards so housekeeping can quickly verify that everything is accounted for and focus their time on thoroughly sanitizing and preparing the home for the next guests. It's not intended as an additional checkout task.

Location was perfect for our stay! Quiet neighborhood and the house was clean. Easy ample parking was a bonus! Neighborhood also includes a community basketball court, which made my boys happy. I loved the washer and dryer so much that it made me want to upgrade my own. We loved watching the deer in the yard and the front porch was our favorite gathering spot. Loved our stay!
