Rebecca was a wonderful host and we felt so lucky to gather in such a welcoming space. Two families getting together to spend time together and it was the perfect place. The thoughtful touches of toys and everything being labeled made it so easy and added something extra! Thank you!

The Perfect Place

This was our third visit to the Cat's Meow and it, again, was perfect. The house is immaculate. The kitchen is beyond fully stocked - everything you need & more. Beds are extremely comfortable. The yard is manicured and just beautiful - perfect for our pups. We love this place!

We stayed at the Cats Meow as we were in town for Thanksgiving and a funeral service. The house was spacious and had everything we needed. The host communicated extremely well and everything was as expected. If we need accommodations for a future trip to Ainsworth, we will definitely be checking here first!

This was a lovely, very comfortable home to stay in. It is spacious and the host had everything we needed from coffee and tea to shampoo and soaps. There were fans and portable heaters in each bedroom, plenty of towels and hangers in the closets. There were throw pillow and blankets in the living areas that added to the comfort. We really enjoyed the stay and would stay again. Thank you!

Excellent host and property

Very clean and well-stocked home with plenty of space for everyone. Everything you could need in the kitchen and bath. There were multiple days of snow and Rebecca came every day to shovel the sidewalk and driveway while everyone was at work. Quick and pleasant communication. Exceptional home and host!
