Charming house in the village of Milford walking distance to downtown restaurants and stores. It was clean, well stocked, and the owner communication was excellent. We will stay again!
The location was incredibly convenient and made everything so easy during our stay. This is truly the cutest home—everywhere you look, there are thoughtful details that just keep going! The host was amazing and went above and beyond, even leaving brownies as a welcoming gift, which was such a special touch. Our kids absolutely loved the root beer on tap—such a fun and memorable feature! Every room was comfortable, and the bedding made for such a restful stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
Don't even hesitate, stay here. The home is appointed with everything you would need. From toiletries to kitchen utensils, a coffee and tea bar to root beer on tap. The beds are all very comfortable with quality bedding. The hosts were very responsive and ensured the place was ready. They thought of everything.
Our business held our staff retreat here while running basketball camps in the area. The proximity to the great downtown area, amenities, and attention to details made it one of the best VRBO experiences I’ve ever had!
From the moment we walked in the door, we felt at home and welcomed. The property was clean, well stocked and perfect for our weekend getaway. The fresh cookies were amazing and the kiddos want to stay here every visit to Milford. We loved our experience and will be back soon. Thank you Brandy for your amazing hospitality!
My daughter and I stayed for a week while we were handling some family business. Our mornings were glorious as we walked through the community to Central Park and up Main Street. The location is convenient to the parks and restaurants; the backyard is comfortable for relaxing morning and evening; the kitchen stocked well; the bedrooms comfortable and stylishly decorated. I would definitely choose this property again for a MIlford visit.
