Great visit!

The house was perfect for my family. Felt like home. Unfortunately there were a couple of days of rain and the host was quick to contact me to offer indoor activities around for suggestions, which we thought was very considerate. Would definitely stay there again.

Great Location & Space

This was a perfect property for us, just two miles from our daughter who was hosting the entire family for Thanksgiving. Instead of hotel rooms, we found Norma’s place which offered us the additional bedrooms we needed in a very quiet, lovely neighborhood setting. The house was immaculate and welcoming, with comfortable beds, a full, well-equipped kitchen and many special touches. This a homey, casual ranch which we found spacious and restful. The owner is very responsive and access is super easy. We would definitely stay here again next year! Many thanks.

Mother’s Day Weekend

I chose this house because it was just 3 miles from our daughters’s home, and we needed four bedrooms. Normally, we rent homes which are nicer, newer, and cost more. This house is wedged between neighbors on all sides with odd parking restrictions. It did not look like the pictures.
