The house was even more beautiful in person than it was in pictures! It was a beautiful home, both inside and out, and was very clean. The street in the fall was picturesque with the trees changing colors and lining the sidewalks. Lori was friendly and very responsive. We would definitely stay again!

One of the cleanest places we’ve ever stayed. The property was in excellent condition. Most of all our host took great care of us and provided many thoughtful touches throughout the home. Highly recommended also for the location in proximity to downtown and the coliseum area. Parking was super easy as well. Thank you!

This was such a cute little place to stay. The hosts did such a great job anticipating needs - from kitchen essentials to bathroom essentials - no detail went unnoticed. It was especially helpful since my electric toothbrush apparently didn't charge before our trip and there was a new toothbrush ready for me to use. I loved that they also took people traveling with kids into consideration and had white noise machines in each room. Lori was so sweet and responded immediately to texts. This is one of the best places we have stayed at during travel.

Great little Getaway Spot

This property made the perfect spot for my girls, my best friend of 20 years and i to relax and enjoy the evening it was so close to downtown Ft. WAYNE and The Allen County Memorial Coliseum. We appreciated the special little touches of comfort throughout the home and the owners were so nice
