We had such a great stay for Parents Weekend! We shared the house with my sister-in-law, her husband and our niece, and the layout was perfect for a group. It’s a beautiful ranch-style home with three main bedrooms on the first floor, plus a fourth bedroom with a single bed.The downstairs was a huge bonus, with a large, comfortable sectional, huge TV, full bathroom with shower, high-top table and a separate bedroom that could be closed off. It would be perfect for teenagers or an additional adult. There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out, and the kitchen opens right into the dining and living areas, which made it easy to all be together.The house has tons of windows and is really beautiful. There’s also a great backyard patio with an outdoor couch and additional seating. Unfortunately, we had rain and didn’t get to use it, but it looked like a fantastic space.The host was wonderful and incredibly responsive. He went above and beyond, even leaving extra food and thoughtful accommodations in the pantry. You could tell he had really thought of everything.The beds were extremely comfortable, and having four bathrooms with showers plus an extra half bath was perfect for our group.The neighborhood was great too. The whole block was festive and friendly for Parents Weekend, and it’s within walking distance of the stadium.We would definitely stay here again and would love to come back!
