Great place!

We had a family group ranging in age from 12 to 96 and everyone enjoyed our stay. The backyard was a beautiful place to gather with plenty of room for the yard games that we brought. We did have a problem with the hot water but with a phone call the owners quickly addressed the issue. I would recommend staying at this property.

Happy Trip!

Really, really nice home!!! It’s an older home but excellently maintained in a really great neighborhood. The light switches really were a hoot and a half, and provided a source of amusement for us. There were a lot of great restaurants within 2 miles of the house. I would highly recommend this staying here.
