"The condo was such a perfect location and so close to downtown! It had everything we needed and it was such a perfect size for our family of 4. It was very clean and had all the amenities we needed. The high chair (and pack and play) were a great bonus! Lisa was such a phenomenal host and so easy to contact with quick response times! We will absolutely be back!"

"Two of my friends and I reserved the Cherry Farmhouse for a long weekend to celebrate our 70th birthdays. We wanted somewhere special and that's exactly what we found!

"Our first entry into our room was not the best. It smelled strongly of pot. We told the desk clerk and she was aware and told us they had a little trouble from the couple who had stayed the night before. She immediately moved us to another room, which was also an upgrade. My only question was why they put us in that original room to begin with. They had numerous room openings. The room we were moved to was fine and we were appreciative for the upgrade in rooms."
