Perfect Gameday Retreat

We loved this property for our weekend with friends. Quiet street, close enough to walk to campus but not in the center of the noise. The house was clean, the beds were comfortable and the host was easy to work with - I highly recommend!

Why they chose this property

Pull in just 7 blocks off of the Interstate, park the cars, and enjoy the weekend of special events. A "home away from home" in the middle of all the activities, with the ability to walk and enjoy, but without the hassles of driving, parking and dealing with crowds to get in and out. Walk back home at the end of the evening, and enjoy the privacy and comfort of this spacious home, and leave the pushing and shoving crowds for someone else to deal with.

What makes this property unique

pleanty of in-driveway parking, with additional spaces on the street in front of the home, which is a private drive.
