Hometown visit
Visiting my hometown for a few days, it was a great place to stay! Plenty of space, all the amenities I needed. The house was clean and secure, and it was a good place to relax after our busy days. This location was also convenient to Shepherd and Mt. Pleasant. I definitely recommend, and hope to stay again on future visits.

From the owner: "Thank you, Carol, for making the effort to let us know you enjoyed your stay!"
This property was perfect for our stay. There was plenty of room for a small family gathering to celebrate graduation. The property was well equipped & very quaint. The location of the property was a bit outside of Mt. Pleasant, but had a quick & easy route to campus. We preferred its rural location. I gave 5 stars for communication with the “ property manager”. This review is not for the property management company, but for our contact in the area that assisted us with local questions. He was great! I would rebook this property for future stays. Great little place.
Was super surprised just how nice this house was. It was tastefully decorated with many antiques and live plants which gave it a very homey feel. The whole house has been updated and the kitchen was generously furnished. The roku TV offered our favorite channels. Possibly, the only negative is it's location is in the middle of nowhere on a 2-lane dirt road. But, even that had positives. The countryside was beautiful and there was a restuarant/green house/party store just a mile down the road. There was a humming bird that frequented the flowers below the front window! The host was very nice and patient when we called him because we kept messing up the code to get in. This was one of the nicest houses we have ever rented.
