Amazing Property

The house was an adorable older home. Exceptionally clean and had plenty of space for our family. Heidi was an amazing host and was very prompt with correspondence. Her kids even drew our daughter a good luck picture for her dance competition. Great personal touch and our daughter was over the moon happy! Our stay was super enjoyable. Would definitely stay again when we are in the area. Cute little town with a restaurant that had amazing service and food.

Spacious small town gem

It was the perfect place to spend the night while visiting family nearby. Nice, updated space with everything we needed for our large family. Host was very courteous and helpful, as it was my first time booking through the site. If we are ever spending more time in the area, it will be our first pick.

St. Lucas visit

This property was adorable and comfortable. The house had everything I needed at an affordable price. I will absolutely stay here again. The host left information about community resources and helpful check in and out procedures as well as extra bottles of water in the refrigerator.
