Great place in central location

Very clean nice home with all needed amenities. There were three of us there for three nights. Comfortable and nicely appointed. Met our needs perfectly. And nice to have a garage to use--keep the car a bit warmer and didn't need to scrap off the snow.

This property was very well kept. While being a small house it's still offered plenty of sleeping room tw0 living areas to take advantage of and a kitchen with everything you might need. The host communicated throughout our stay to make sure everything was OK. I will stay again!

I like having a drip coffee maker! I bring my own coffee, and I don’t like the Kerig type that people are going to. The place was clean and neat.

What a great find!

We had the pleasure of staying at this property in July, and it was perfect! There were 5 adults and 1 infant. With 2 bedrooms and a bath on the main level and a separate bedroom, bath, and living room downstairs it was the perfect fit for us. The house is located in a very quiet residential area and close to just about everything. The host was great, and the communication was so prompt and thorough. Very convenient, we would totally stay here again.

Great location, great space for 3 of us

Perfect size for our family group. We each had our own sleeping space and 2 great common rooms to come together. More inexpensive than most hotels in the area, except more homey, quieter, more private and easier to sleep in a quiet residential neighborhood. We would recommend it.
