Property was clean and in a great neighborhood. It was incredibly easy to get to the events we were visiting for and it was very close to all kinds of food and restaurant options.
It’s a nice place, clean and convenient to everyplace we needed to go on our trip. It’s small. We felt pretty cramped with an adult and two children. (Plus a small dog). A smaller group like a couple or even a single person would probably be a better fit. But that’s on us! Some outdoor furniture would be nice. It’s a pretty yard in a well kept neighborhood.
Great little place to stay right in town. Just footsteps away from restaurants, bars, pharmacy etc. There are a couple great breweries and a cute coffee shop just a couple short blocks away. Loved the location, the whole town is walkable from here and the neighborhood actually seemed quiet a night which was great too. Would highly recommend.

Thank you Shaun! We are glad you enjoyed your stay! Come again!
The host was friendly and communicated well with me. The place was clean and comfortable. It was perfect for the 3 of us and our dog. Great location! We walked to the Appleton Farmers Market and attended a wedding in town. Small, cute, cozy and was provided with everything we needed.
