The host was very welcoming and easy to contact, quick to respond. The space was large enough to accommodate our family and close to the wedding venue we were attending. It was convenient to have a grocery and liquor store close by as well.
This house was absolutely beautiful and wonderful for a stay. Very spacious, provided for guest to have separate spaces. Loved the reading material. Would stay again if opportunity arises. I’ve never had to give such details, (tag numbers, persons in each vehicle), for a rental as I did for this one. That was quite time consuming. But—-/it was a great stay. A wonderful host, patient with all my concerns. Highly recommend this rental.
We were staying here to accommodate our large family for a family wedding. It was perfect!! Play area for the kids, outside seating to watch the kids and plenty of space for everyone.
Very large house to accommodate all of our family who were in town for a wedding. Host was super helpful and easy to communicate with. The house is a great balance of rustic charm while having all the modern updates you would want at a stay.
This place is so beautiful. We all just loved the history of this place. It’s large and very clean, with amazing hot water in the showers. Great family vacation spot.
What a great house!! All of my guest were super excited about the house with all the architecture and the little touches were amazing. The communication with the host was terrific.
Beautiful property. We had the main and guest house so we had plenty of room for the family to spread out and have privacy while also having common areas. The outdoor space is significantly larger than I expected. Nice surprise. Thank you for everything.
My family and I stayed here for a family wedding at a nearby venue. We had a wonderful stay and the property was perfect for our family. The house was beautiful and the beds were very comfortable.

The property is located in a quiet neighborhood. Well maintained.
Truly enjoyed our stay in this charming & cozy home from the 18th century. Love the unique furniture and decor. Very clean and great location for us as it was close to 285. The grocery store is only a three minute drive from the house. Would definitely stay again.
The house lived up to the descriptions and was a great place to both stay in and host family for a few meals. The house itself was lovely and it was well equipped for our stay.
Beautiful home in a quiet neighborhood, in a great location. Short distance to supermarket, drug stores, etc...
House was stocked with all the needed amenities. I would definitely stay here again.
My 9 yo great granddaughter said "I really went beyond renting this amazing house" so I think it was a hit! Thank you Lori, my family really had a great time!

Loved having your sweet family in the neighborhood. God bless your paths.
We selected this VRBO because it was just minutes from the venue for my son’s wedding. The host was excellent—communicative, gracious, and incredibly understanding. We experienced several unexpected changes due to health issues within our family, and the host remained flexible and supportive throughout. We’re so grateful for their kindness during such an important and hectic time.
