Simplicity in contemporary design with comforts of home

Loved the property - Kim was an amazing host. Greeted us upon arrival and was always helpful in providing insights on travel to surrounding colleges, shopping, and restaurants. Her communication was quick and very pleasant. We couldn't have asked for a nicer place to stay as a mother-daughter college trip experience. H
