Was looking for a place to stay while visiting from California for my cousin's wedding and thought this place was perfect online. When I showed up I wasn't disappointed about anything, it was everything I expected and more! Beautiful neighborhood, clean house, comfy beds and friendly host. Would definitely book it again!

Sabrina

Great hosts! The A/C wasn't working when I arrived and they had someone there in 10 minutes to fix it. They even offered to move me to another property, but I declined. They were in constant touch until the A/C was running again. They have the house thoughtfully appointed if you have a dog (I don't). Fully equipped kitchen.

Linda

I had a great night's rest on this quiet street. It was nice to wake in the morning, have breakfast on the front porch, and then take a stroll down to the trails and the nature preserve. The mattress was super comfortable. The rooms are just as pictured. Location wise, it's ideal. A good find.
