Great little house. Kitchen has everything you need. Plenty of room to spread out and find your own space.WiFi included and the desk area is great if you need to get some work done. You can easily walk up to the Burger King (not the chain restaurant) and to the main road and restaurants.Will definitely stay again.

Fairly clean, however did have some issues. Pillows were completely worn out as were the beds, mattresses were covered in plastic which made them very hot to sleep on. While not under the Hosts control, the dog next door barked at everything morning and night.

This is my second time staying at the home and it’s been another lovely experience. It’s nice to have a cozy place to stay when i visit. The home is supplied with the basic utensils, towels, seasonings, and cleaning products. Everything is clean, organized, and the hosts are communicative and easy to get ahold of. The area is also quiet and friendly

This house was perfect! Very clean, beautifully decorated and very cozy. So many nice extras. Because of bad weather we had to modify our stay and we were very grateful that the hosts were able to accommodate us. We would absolutely stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay at this cozy home. The small home was super comfy and felt just right for our family, with everything we needed to relax after a busy day. It was really thoughtful of the hosts to have the driveway and sidewalk freshly shoveled—especially with the winter weather—making it easy and safe to come and go. The location was perfect, just a short drive to Emerald Acres for our sporting events. We especially appreciated all the little extras they provided, like plenty of coffee supplies, a ton of clean towels, and even condiments in the fridge. It made our trip feel extra welcoming and hassle-free. We would definitely stay again.
