The pictures don't show how beautiful this property really is! It doesn't feel like a rental. The entire property is well decorated, clean, well-cared for and really relaxing! There are lots of little touches that made it feel very welcoming as soon as we walked in the door. The hosts provided a binder to explain some things about the property, history of the area and a list of local restaurants. There was also a binder with menus! I wish we had spent some time on the lovely patio that is available for guests staying there. It is located in a nice area of Portage. And it was pretty easy to get around town from the home. We would be happy to stay there again!
