Cute area with wonderful restaurants nearby. The host gave many detailed instructions to make access easy. The living and dining room area was spacious. We enjoyed the fire table on the patio. Bonus! Would stay there again and recommend it to others.

Our host responded promptly and was very friendly when we reported an issue with one of the blinds. Neighborhood was quiet and just a short distance into the main part of town.

Sweet Retreat

Nice home that checked most of our boxes—unfortunately the noise of the adjacent road kept us up at night.

Amazingly Cozy Cabin Vibe Home

We stayed for a dance contest the highschool (which is right down the road). The space is very comfortable. It’s is stocked with full size soaps and plenty of linens. I love when there are plenty of towels. I slept so comfortably. The beds are very firm, which I love. We played scrabble and snuggled up for TV. Will book again if I can!

Great! Just a few suggestions...

Nice location, clean, loved hanging out around the outdoor gas fireplace! Read description carefully; a/c is in one king bedroom and downstairs living/dining area, but not in the other two bedrooms or kitchen. There are blinds in the two king bedrooms but not in the room with the twin beds, just sheer curtains. A full length mirror would be nice in at least one of the rooms.

Met almost all our needs

This is a very quaint place with all the modern amenities we needed. Except for the air conditioning. Our main problem was that Only One Bedroom had Air Conditioning. I would recommend that during the hot summer months, avoid renting this place because the other two bedrooms are really hot. In general, the overall seating is not very comfortable. The barstools in the kitchen are aluminum and the wrong height. In the dining room, the same style of uncomfortable aluminum chair, with a bench that’s not too bad. The two couches are OK. This is a funny thing, but we found that the floors were quite dirty downstairs. No crumbs or anything, but when we walked with bare feet, they got very black. The neighborhood is nice, but the house is located on the edge of Highway 61 and there is traffic noise. Normally, I don’t submit anything negative, but I feel that these things should be mentioned because it did affect the quality of our stay. I am giving an overall rating of four because everything else went so smoothly, but overall it should probably be at three.
