This hotel is also only a short walk from campus, so perfect for families visiting the college!"

"The home was beautiful, just as pictured and described! The house had a basket of snacks on the table and stocked with games for kids, which my boys loved. It was very thoughtful making it feel like home away from home for them. We were very satisfied with everything, and communication with the host was excellent! Would highly recommend this property!!"

"We loved our stay here. It felt so peaceful and we felt at home. The place was clean which we always appreciate. There is plenty of room here. Although we were bummed that we didn’t get to use the pool due to the colder weather at the time plus the pool was dirty but nonetheless, it is an amazing place and we just enjoyed looking outside."
