Great layout and spacious for a weekend stay over. The neighborhood was quiet and pleasant. The open kitchen and living space made it very easy to lounge and talk but never felt like a noisy cavern. Definitely felt like a retreat away from home. Really enjoyed the property and everything it offered.

We were six adults who found the floor plan of the house very conducive to spending time together without tripping over one another. There were a good number of night lights in the house. While we didn’t have any dogs, we thought it was cute the pantry had dog treats. The neighborhood was quiet. We appreciated the supply of pens and notepads, located near the coffee counter. Access to the garage was helpful in storing suitcases for the week, leaving more space in the closets. We would recommend additional towel racks in the bathrooms or a free-standing towel rack for used towels to dry.

Our stay at Beth’s property was everything we hoped for. She was caring, kind, and quick to respond to questions. Her property was immaculate and she takes great care in providing her guests with the comforts of home. Plus, the location is hard to beat. Truly a wonderful experience.
