Wonderful updated home

We loved this house and how they kept the original charm while upgrading and the hosts were wonderful. We had an issue with the heat during possibly the hottest weekend this summer so far and the hosts promptly brought more AC (window units only in this house, upgrades made didn’t include central cooling) and they were checking on us often to make sure we were comfortable. Excellent hosts!

Wedding

Check-in was a breeze! The house was absolutely stunning—so spacious and beautifully designed. We had everything we needed and felt completely at home, even with such a large group! The kitchen was immaculate and had plenty of room for everyone. We didn’t need to bring a thing. Everything was clean, organized, and thoughtfully prepared. They even went the extra mile with the little details that made our stay extra comfortable. Highly recommend!
