Loved being so close to downtown - easy walking distance to everything!
Clean and well-equipped kitchen and baths, and very well laid out for a comfortable stay for 8.
Neighborhood was quite quiet and peaceful, too, for being so close to the hospital and downtown.
Would stay there again in a second.

This home was perfect for our football weekend! Every need was met for our party of six. The home was charming, well decorated, and well maintained. The appointments were over the top – bed and bath linens were wonderful. The kitchen was very nicely stocked, including a lovely welcome package. The owners were very easy to communicate with and the location was perfect for our needs. All said, a Five Star Home!
