Second year in a row! Love everything about this property. Feels like coming home!For parents of rowers, this home was a great place to return to at the end of a day at the lake. We used the oven to bake for the team and the washer and dryer to give our son fresh uniforms.The neighborhood is always quiet and close to everything. We’ll be back again next year!
Cute little house. We loved that this place had a crib and high chair and lots of kids toys. It made traveling with our kids so much easier. The place was clean and had lots of blankets. I’d definitely stay here again.
Clean, spacious, well-equipped home. Would definitely stay again when in Oak Ridge area.

Would recommend this place
The house was clean and very comfortable. The bathroom and kitchen had extras that most VRBO's don't have. We enjoyed our stay. We would stay again if ever in the area.

Arlene and her companions were very courteous guests; we’d love to have them again! Thank you!
We were 3 sisters with families, our youngest being 23 months. This home was a great house for us!! We loved the play room loaded with toys for our toddler and the screened porch and big family room for the adults. We would definitely rent here again.
Such a cute place! Clean and comfy and well stocked with supplies. Beds were comfortable and a quiet location. Owner reached out prior to getting the property just to let us know to reach out if we needed anything. Definitely recommend this place! Thank you!

Thank you so much for staying with us, we’re glad you enjoyed the home. We look forward to having you in the future if you come back to Oak Ridge!
As our second stay in this nice home we were as comfortable as if we were home. It’s so comforting to know there will be well stocked essentials in the bathrooms, bedrooms, and living area. We plan to stay here whenever we visit our daughter and her family!
Stayed here for a wedding in the area. Very much appreciated toys and games for kids. Porch very relaxing. Kitchen well stocked with condiments, coffee, etc. Very easy communication with host. Issue with dishwasher immediately managed by host. Kitchen draws and closets helpfully labelled. Everything functional.

Sorry for the dishwasher drama, but I’m glad we were able to get it quickly resolved 😆👍. Our kids are always happy to hear when others are enjoying the toys they have chosen, haha! Thanks for enjoying our home, we hope to host you again in the future.
We really loved our stay here! The home was just wonderful and homey and had everything we needed. The Host had awesome communication and was so nice and accommodating. We just enjoyed it so much and will definitely be back! Thank you!
We was there to do a job for a business in the area. We brought everything that we needed however everything was fully equipped with what we needed if we was to have had to need it. The stay was so amazing we was only 3 minutes away from our location. I would definitely recommend someone to stay there
House was extremely tidy. All appliances were easy to use and up to date. Neighborhood was quiet. Wifi consistent. Beds comfortable. Clean, clean, clean.

Great Stay
The owner of this vacation rental was wonderful to work with. An issue came up and she was super responsive and remedied the situation. The place was also very clean and had everything you can imagine including nice towels and soft sheets not the standard basic most vacation rentals feature. We would definitely stay here again when visiting Oak Ridge.
Nice sized 3 bedrooms
Quiet location, walking range to a good local bar, with very friendly people.
Good internet
Would definitely recommend it
