Everything was wonderful. Our grand-daughter loved playing with all the playground equipment and toys outside, as well as our walks to the pond. The house is so clean and comfortable. We loved every moment of our time there.

This was very convenient to family gathering. The rooms were clean and very comfortable. Suggestions- add another chair in living room for larger group. Possibly a small table in the bathroom to hold toiletries. If you have problems with stairs this might not be the best. Both large bedrooms are upstairs. Over all we will use this space again.

My daughter and I loved getting to enjoy this property in the country. We loved seeing the beautiful countryside, and peacefulness; yet it is just a short drive into town. A perfect time and place for reflection and rest. If my granddaughter had been with us, she would have loved all the outdoor play items.

Home away from home!

The house was Beautiful! The beds were so comfortable! My husband and I brought our 5 yr old grandson and his service dog in training. Ezra loved the swings in the backyard and the puppy had plenty of room to stretch her legs. My husband and I enjoyed the county feel just 5 minutes away from our kiddos in Aroura. The owners were so kind . The detail was beyond compare! We truly enjoyed our stay!

About the host

Hosted by Paul Haine

Host profile image
I am originally from the UK and moved here in 2009. I have travelled around the world and I love to provide hospitality for people who are traveling.

Why they chose this property

I enjoy the peace of living in the countryside and being a part of the local community. I am actively involved with the Aurora Downtown Project which is a nonprofit organization dedicated to revitalizing downtown. There are many small businesses in Aurora and so much history that we should preserve. I started my first job in Aurora at the Aurora Greenhouse where they have the original door from 1889.

What makes this property unique

The view is amazing! I lived there for many years and drinking a morning coffee on the patio was a great way to start the day.
