This was perfect for our weekend stay! Area was great, close to highway as well as restaurants and gas station! Had a great old farmhouse vibe! We will definitely use this house again when coming back! Oh and the family of deer that graced us with their presence each morning and night was loved by the whole family!

We very much enjoyed our stay at this property. Check-in and out were very easy. Plenty of parking off the street. A lot of traffic on the street, but it was quiet in the home. We needed a place to stay due to a funeral to attend, so we didn't use the kitchen and other amenities available. Overall, a very pleasant stay and very accessible for our trip.

Quiet, comfortable, charming, and super clean; great stay in Rio Grande

This was the perfect stopover location for us. Communication was excellent. Location was as described. House is charming and very comfortable. It was nice to get outside, eat a pizza on the back picnic table, and walk at the local college campus. If we are in the area again, we will be back.

Super cute space!

Our stay here was amazing! The bed was super comfortable and the hosts were more than accommodating. This place was also fully stocked! They even had extra toothbrushes (brand new) that came in handy when my husband forgot his. The fridge was fully stocked as well. Overall, we would definitely stay here again and loved the location of this place!

Family Reunion

We stayed in Rio Grande because it was a 20 minute drive to family. My husband and I stayed here with our daughter and son in law plus three grandchildren. There was plenty of room. They even had many baby items in the home. The only drawback was the number of stairs to get into the house. If you don’t have any mobility issues you will be all set. May stay here again for next years reunion.
