Leslie is a wonderful host. She went above and beyond to help us secure lodging after a power loss from a pop-up storm. Her home is truly a “home away from home”! Great location and a great value. We plan to return again soon:)

I absolutely loved this place, it was so cute and comfy! I am one that loves antique pieces, and this made me feel right at home. Leslie was very responsive to my messages and questions. The neighbor hood was quiet and close to everywhere that I needed to go.
