Response from VrboOwner on 20 Oct 2025
Thank you so much for staying with us and sharing your feedback! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the home and would stay again. We appreciate the note about the pillows — we’ll be refreshing those soon to make stays even more comfortable. The third bedroom has a newer memory foam mattress, and while comfort can be personal, we hope all our guests find it cozy. We really value your input and look forward to welcoming you back anytime!

The host was very gracious and excellent at communicating every part of the way. The house is lovely in a quiet neighborhood, convenient to downtown and lots of trails. I really enjoyed spending time out on the back deck looking at the birds and squirrels and trees. In addition, the house is well stocked and clean.
