Stayed for a weekend for my daughter’s college graduation. The house was just what we needed, not far from downtown in a quiet neighborhood. Easy process as far as booking and check in. The property had an alarm system adding to security during the stay. Communication with the owner was timely and helpful.

This home was roomy, clean and comfortable for 3 adults. The check in process was simple and convenient. It had 2 king size beds and a full size bed, roomy living room and 2 bathrooms. The kitchen featured a coffee maker that included single serve. We were in town for a wedding and this home was within 10 minutes of the downtown area. We had a relaxing stay in this home.
