Spring break
We had a nice time visiting family in this area. I was a little worried about the neighborhood being so close to a college campus but it was very quiet and near some nice walking trails. Communication with the host was very prompt and we had everything we needed. However there was no hot tub as in the listing.

Cutest house!
We loved the house! It was just as pictured. My 11 year old wants her house decorated the same someday! It was perfect for our three generations to stay in for the weekend. Lots of room, clean, all the amenities we could want or need! Neighborhood looked a little iffy when we got there but it was quiet and no problems at all! Thanks for a great weekend!
