Anita did a wonderful job of making us feel welcome to her family home. The lovely 50’s theme made for fun discussion and learning about history with our kids as well showcased the beautiful history and memories of the house. We loved the thoughtful treats left for our arrival and very much enjoyed the space, live plants, friendly cat named Elvis, deer in the backyard, and close proximity to parks and the mountain coaster. We stayed as a half way point from Ohio to Myrtle Beach and would definitely stay again if we were to travel this way in the future. Thank you!

Thank you for the wonderful review. I am pleased when guests have a comfortable visit. Glad the children could experience a small look back a few years to a simpler time when electronics were simple and not controlling our lives. Please stop again if you are this way. Blessings, Anita

We enjoyed our stay. Very clean, well supplied in kitchen. The host was immediately available and communicated well. We had our dog with us. The yard is large and a good place to walk around. The 50’s theme and all the personal touches made it feel like home. It’s conveniently close to I77 if you’re traveling.

I really enjoyed all the little touches around the house that makes one appreciate the 50's. The bed was so comfy and I loved the quilt on it too. Sitting on the back porch during a thunderstorm was very peaceful, would totally stay here again!
