Wonderful stay. The host was very helpful and responsive. The house was as expected and very clean. The fenced in yard was perfect for our pups!

About the host

Hosted by Gabrielle Caucutt

Host profile image
My husband & I, along with our 6 boys, enjoy designing short term rentals around our favorite authors! Our family enjoys reading, inventing games of all kinds, singing, ballroom swing dancing, and being a part of our church, school, and community activities. We hope you will enjoy your stay at our house!

Why they chose this property

We always stay in short term rentals ourselves when we travel, so we love this quiet space, with its sidewalks and small park. Easy to get in and out, and we love that we have the largest fenced backyard in the neighborhood!

What makes this property unique

We've never stayed at an "Escape the Room" short term rental, so we like to think our house, with its treasure hunt, is pretty unique!
