Comfortable & Clean

There were 2 couples and the house was a perfect size. Bedrooms were not big but had enough room. The kitchen was well supplied. Everything was clean. Would love to return for another trip. We could walk to Main Street for supper and breakfast. House is in a convenient location. Great hosts!

Cozy, Clean and Comfy

This house was perfect for our needs! It was clean and decorated nicely. The beds were comfortable and the sheets/bedding/towels were great! Way better than a hotel in every way and about the same price. It was much more relaxing than a hotel and just a great experience over all. Cute little place! Five Stars and would stay here again if in the area!

Overall very good

Overall this was a very nice, clean property. We just needed a place to break up our late night drive from St Louis to Chicago. We appreciated the coffee, snacks and wine to greet us - and my business partner (we're both men) def got a chuckle out of the chalkboard greeting us as me and "my wife." We stayed on a Thursday night and it was super quiet all night and morning. It is worth noting that the house is across from a bank parking lot and convenience store - and what appears to be "the main drag" - but again it was quiet. I took an early morning stroll walking northeast on Pine into a very nice, quaint neighborhood. Cons: Wasn't crazy about the backyard neighbors stuff all over their lawn. Bedroom closest to front door had cheap-feeling/saggy bed. And the sheets and comforter smelled liked they were soaked in dryer sheets - it was super irritating to someone like me who is sensitive to chemicals in the air and in bedding - and it definitely affected my sleep. I highly recommend using free & clear detergent (I saw you had it in the laundry room) and not using dryer sheets - like hotels and most all of the rentals we stay in do. I have rented coast to coast for decades, been a landlord, house-flipper, etc for most of my adult life - so these comments are purely to help you and obviously can be taken or left. Thanks again and hope that helps.
