We stayed here for a family reunion. My mom and her sisters grew up in this house in the 1950s-60s. It was very fun for them to come back to stay in the house. Finding toys in the closet was a great surprise for the youngsters in our group! We are happy the house is still being cared for and all the beautiful woodwork is in good condition.

The property host was very responsive and a breeze to work with. The check-in and checkout process was explained very clearly and went seamlessly. The house was absolutely beautiful! Very clean, amenities were great (towels, coffee, appliances). The location was great and the views of the city from the 3 decks were incredible! Our group of 7 retired womenwould all recommend this property to anyone! Thank you for a wonderful experience.

We had 4 couples spend 3 nights at this beautiful home. We each had our own bathroom, which was important to us. One of our favorite places to hang out was on the second floor porch/portico. We loved saying the word "portico". The views are wonderful! The correct listing on the "Rooms & Beds":4- kings2-Queens1- DBL1- twin (upstairs apartment living room)1 -twin in a small study/living room There are no bunk beds anymore, that are listed under "About the property" The 3rd floor apartment has a full kitchen, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathroom s, living room and a private porch.We had plenty of room to spread out and privacy in our bedrooms.The home is in a great location. We drove to all locations, lots of hills. This house has a beautiful view. If you have a large crowd, book this place. Absolutely LOVED this place.
