We would absolutely book with this host again. We flew in to visit and found this home to be so charming and fun! We enjoyed the vibe and the stay. The host is very communicative and the amenities were appreciated. Having a washer and dryer on site was great!

The reservation and check-in process was very easy. The house was nice and clean. We didn’t use the kitchen, but it seemed well equipped with everything needed. I really appreciated the extra things like fans for the rooms and extra blankets. Overall great stay.

This rental was such a fun place to be! Amazing decor with so many exciting things to discover. Great attention to detail, comfortable beds, and perfect communication with owner. We enjoyed walking just 2 blocks to Big Grove Brewery and Taproom for great food, beer, and cocktails! We loved staying here and highly recommend this property!

Clean and well-furnished home with comfortable beds. Great location near downtown and steps away from fun bars and good restaurants. Property managers were available and attentive to our needs.

VRBO screw-up. Host had no idea we were coming. Although, VRBO had taken our money. It took hours/days for a refund.
