Absolutely adorable home in a nice safe neighborhood only minutes from downtown. Rode bikes to the access for the High Bridge Trail. Super clean and well stocked with anything you need.No detailed left unattended. Easy communication with Allison. Comfortable furniture and bedding, extra linens. Nice patio and cozy backyard with firepit and grill. We had a deer walk through the backyard one evening . The home is at the end of the street and private. The kitchen was fully stocked with all appliances and two coffee maker options. The home’s AC was cool and ready for our arrival. Met two neighbors who were super friendly. Excellent VRBO property!

Good place to stay

We stayed for a week during spring time, dogwoods bloomed and so was rhododendron and azelias, iy was a piece of heaven. It was nice and comfortable for the two of us. Old time charm and updated fitures that are a necessity. Neighborhood is super quite, which was important after a day of work. Allison was very helpful, always promptly answered any questionsthat we had. Snack bar items and everything that you might need for tea or coffee was also a nice bonus.
