Weekend Getaway

The house was equipped with everything we needed and the guest notebook with Rebecca’s suggestions for local restaurants, stores, parks, etc. was a nice personal touch! The furniture was comfortable and there was plenty of space for our group of seven. The house looks exactly as pictured and I highly recommend booking with Rebecca!

Very Nice!

We were there only for Thursday and Friday nights, spending the weekend down the road at Virginia International. This home worked great for us to crash those nights and had a well equipped kitchen so we could knock together breakfast (and coffee!) before heading out early in the mornings. Close to several interesting restaurants as well!
