Wonderful Stay

Beautiful house in a quiet neighborhood. John has been great to work with over our stay. A great main floor for gathering with 5 bedrooms on the upper floors. The enclosed back patio would be great for small family gatherings. A good size back yard with a nice fire pit. I would highly recommend this space.

This house was perfect for our 8 girls trip. Plenty of beds, bathrooms and tons of amenities. Highly recommend. Will stay again if I am in the area. The local food and astrosphere is lovely and unique. You will not choose wrong by staying here. Thanks for the memories.
