We loved every minute of our stay. This trip was with my daughter and granddaughters and everything was perfect! Probably the best vacation we have ever had together. The house met all of our needs. No complaints whatsoever. We would certainly rent again if the need arose to be in the area. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful stay and John was so accommodating with an earlier check-in. The house was super clean and beds comfy. Kitchen had everything you needed to cook if needed. Close enough to walk to restaurants and ferry. We enjoyed the outside seating a few evenings and even say geese, deer and a black squirrel. Would recommend.

Off street parking was ample and convenient. Water was very hot and I like it that way. Very convenient for the bridge walk. Grill had propane for our grilling purposes of the brats from the Family market just around the corner. Brats were delish. The step down between the primary bedroom and the bathroom was worrisome for my mid-night visits to relieve myself. Fans helped to circulate the air, as there was no A/C.

We're so glad the off-street parking, hot water, and grill made for an easy stay, and that you were close enough to enjoy the bridge walk and grab brats from the Family Market nearby. Thanks for sharing these details with future guests!

While property doesn’t list AC, it doesn’t say it doesn’t. Otherwise clean cute place. Hard to open the windows and some had no screens so couldn’t open and allow bugs in. Overpriced but everything in the area appeared overpriced for what you got.
