Great place to stay
We had a great time here. The location is wonderful, the property is great; we just had a great time.
The place met our need but was not fabulous. Meaning for the money it was good but blinds were broken, there was a hole in the drywall, the dresser was broken if you moved it the wrong way, no coffee pods (but they ordered some and they got there prompltly but none upon arrival). That all said we were safe and had a place to come to at the end of the day that was not perfect but fine. It was clean and the host was fairly timely in their response. Walmart and CVS nearby.
Stay was perfect. Owners were amazing. Place was cozy, cleaning and beautiful. Quiet neighborhood. Stores in great proximity to house. Couldnt ask for a better stay. Thank you
