Great visit!

The house was perfect for my family. Felt like home. Unfortunately there were a couple of days of rain and the host was quick to contact me to offer indoor activities around for suggestions, which we thought was very considerate. Would definitely stay there again.

Great Location & Space

This was a perfect property for us, just two miles from our daughter who was hosting the entire family for Thanksgiving. Instead of hotel rooms, we found Norma’s place which offered us the additional bedrooms we needed in a very quiet, lovely neighborhood setting. The house was immaculate and welcoming, with comfortable beds, a full, well-equipped kitchen and many special touches. This a homey, casual ranch which we found spacious and restful. The owner is very responsive and access is super easy. We would definitely stay here again next year! Many thanks.

Mother’s Day Weekend

I chose this house because it was just 3 miles from our daughters’s home, and we needed four bedrooms. Normally, we rent homes which are nicer, newer, and cost more. This house is wedged between neighbors on all sides with odd parking restrictions. It did not look like the pictures.
Stayed 3 nights in May 2021
Response from VrboOwner on 31 Aug 2023
Thanks for staying with us Ouida. I am glad we could accommodate you and the seven in your family for the busy Mother's Day & Graduation weekend. Yes our house is in a suburban neighborhood with neighbors but around here having a 1/2 acre is a luxury. I am sorry you were confused or missed the parking sign on the property. Of course we assume folks won't park on the grass and stay on the circular drive. I will adjust the jpeg photo I send to guests showing parking to make it more clear. Yes, our older home is a MID-Century Ranch built in the 50's though all the bathrooms and floors have been redone, we did keep the Kitchen vintage as the pictures show-some like the kitsch others prefer a new kitchen. I agree too that we do keep our prices very affordable. I think it's nice that a family of 7 can stay in a 4 bedroom home for the same cost as one nice hotel room in the area during a highly sought after weekend. We really strive to please all our guests and am sorry that we fell short of your expectations. I do appreciate the feedback. Wish you well.
