Comfortable & convenient place to stay!

We were in town for a family reunion & it was great to have a place where family members could drop in for a cup of coffee & conversation! Kitchen is adequately stocked if you’re inclined to cook. Good location in a quiet neighborhood too.

Excellent Communication

We had a fantastic stay for the Great American Eclipse. The host was very responsive and very welcoming. He sent a PDF a few days early of events and attractions in the area during our stay. Would highly recommend!

Family visit

The house is located in a nice neighborhood close to all the things I needed to do in Olney. I did have a bit of trouble with the TV on the first night but was pleasantly surprised by a brand new on the next day. Very responsive hosts!

Well let’s call this a Bonus property because there are so many bonuses. If I lived in Olney, I would definitely purchase this home from Michael. But since I can’t live there, I will just have to rent it when I visit. The privacy is Fantastic!!! There is plenty of private back yard space and a perfect opportunity to grill, spend time reading, bird watching, etc. The two garages an absolute Bonus because we didn’t have to clean snow off the car in the morning. The laundry room, with free front load washer/dryer, was a plus. I was able to do my work projects and laundry, Fun-Fun. The property is walking distance from the park and if you want to be adventurous walk to the main street. Enjoy-Enjoy!
