We had an excellent stay! The property was the best house we have stayed in, in our over 20 years of visiting Douglas for one week every Fall. The house was clean, the beds were comfortable and the layout was perfect. We enjoyed eating out on the back deck even when it rained. The Upscale/Home Base folks have an excellent product and we look forward to future trips at there other properties.

We stayed for a second time and loved it as much as our first. Perfect place for a family stay or a friend’s get together. Great location, everything one needs, and professional, clear and quick communication. We cannot recommend this property more highly!

Great weekend getaway

We had a great time celebrating our mom's birthday and checking out the tulips and beaches. The location was perfect and the house had all of the amenities we needed. We did need to make contact with the owner and she responded promptly and helped us right away. We would definitely recommend a stay here to anyone!

Beautiful home in a great location!

This home was so beautiful! The house itself was meticulously clean and beautifully decorated. It was located on a quiet street, just outside downtown Douglas, with a coffee shop and a rootbeer/hot dog outdoor restaurant right on the corner. We had a great time!

Much to Offer!

The house has much to offer. The size was perfect for our group. We enjoyed the fireplace and fire pit. The location also is great. Would suggest light blocking curtains in the bedrooms.

We loved everything about this home. The inside is immaculate with lots of natural light streaming in through the windows. The kitchen is well equipped; coffee and tea are provided. We spent lots of time outdoors on the back deck which was shaded. We'd highly recommend the coffee shop, located just two doors down on W Center St, which also sells art and apparel by founder and owner, Rae Lang. Also, don't miss stopping by Root Beer Barrel! You've never had a better hotdog and the root beer floats are not to be missed. If we ever revisit the area, we'll definitely check to see if this house if available.
