This space was very nice and had lot of amenities. The space had a vintage vibe to it. There was also a cute cat that lives under the porch that was super friendly. Could have been a little cleaner as there were spider webs in many of the doorframes.

This was such a great place for my friends and me to stay. We needed a nice comfortable place where we could spend an evening catching up and enjoying each other's company and this house was perfect for that. Everything was nice and clean and the hosts have gone above and beyond with the amenities they provided. We would definitely stay here again!

Great space!!

Stayed here with a handful of my buddies for the weekend of a wedding and the space was perfect! Being so close to the airport definitely saved us a ton of trouble. Plenty of room to hang out with more friends who were in town and the host was very accommodating of that!!

Lovely place for a family party

Had a lovely stay and had a small party with family and friends. Check-in was seemless, host quickly fixed a small issue with the WiFi. Mattresses were WONDERFUL. Furniture is eclectic but very comfy. Young adults loved the hot tub.

Family Weekend

The property was accurate to the listing. We generally always select properties with either a hot tub or pool. We were unable to utilize the hot tub during our stay, due to it's smell, which was highly disappointing.

So nice to soak!

Three of my girlfriends and I stayed here for a girls trip. The hot tub is what made us choose this property and it did not disappoint! We had a wonderful time soaking and chatting. Steve was a very helpful host with excellent communication and hospitality. The property was clean and comfortable. The check in and check out process was easy and the location was excellent. We look forward to staying here again

It was a little dirty, but not the worst we ever stayed at. Puzzle pieces were missing and not in the correct boxes. Other than that was a very nice place. The host checked in frequently to make sure everything was okay.
