Cozy and Love the decorations! Great location
We had an amazing stay here. What a beautiful home and absolutely love the style. We came for college orientation and it was very simple to get around. We will absolutely be booking again! Molly communicated with us very well and even sent her other locations to book in the future too. I am now going to buy a flower Lego set. Adorable

Cozy and quiet!
Two of my coworkers and I stayed here for an event. The whole process was smooth and easy- I had multiple questions which the host was quick to answer :) the house itself was very charming. We appreciated the comfort of the space, including the backyard.

Christmas vacation
The house is easy to locate. Neighborhood is quiet. Check in and checkout went smoothly. Garage was a nice added touch. The back fence that was added was fantastic for our pet but it would be nice if the sides were also enclosed. Overall a great experience!

We stayed for an event in town. The set up was good for a family, however I would change the art work in what I would consider the "kids" room - two twin beds. We very much enjoyed the comfortable living area and laundry capability for our event.

Quirky but great
This home was really great for our family of five. It was a great location - close to everything and had all we needed to relax and enjoy Brookings. The layout is interesting but there is plenty of space and the backyard is a big bonus. Check-in was a breeze as well.
