This is a super cute older home with all the warmth and charm you would want. Nothing was lacking for our stay. Mary checked in with us about half way through our visit and was ready to get any thing we needed. And boy oh boy the wonderful smells from her kitchen made you feel like you were at grandma’s house!!

All the comforts of home!

My son and I stayed here (at Mary’s) while we toured an area college. This place was easy to find and had all the comforts of home. It was also very clean and maintained. It was really nice to unwind in the living room after a busy day; there’s more space here than any hotel room could offer. We slept well and enjoyed our stay. Recommended!

Wonderful stay

Had a great stay at this VRBO residence. The owners were very accomodating and went above and beyond to help us out. When we visit the area again, we will look to see if their home is available.
