Great place to land! My family (2 adults and 4 children) found it very comfortable. While the house hosts 6, this would be a very tight squeeze for 6 adults. Read the listing carefully: there is no dishwasher and there is no TV. This was fine for my family and it is also clearly stated in the listing. We just streamed on our computers; we aren't big TV people anyway.We had a great time being able to recoup after a long week beforehand!

Great apartment for a small family in a great location. Parking was behind the home near the entrance door, which made it more secure and a lot easier to load and unload. The host was very kind and communication was perfect. They let us slow charge our electric vehicle overnight with a nearby outlet.

Just like Grandma's

Cozy place, great location, within walking distance to the museum. It does sleep, 6 but probably not 6 adults. The beds are pretty small. It worked great for my family of 6, but four of us were teens/kids. Host was fantastic. We would stay here again in a heart beat.

Best Basecamp Ever!

This host is amazing! She was quick to respond to our questions and so helpful and willing to meet our needs. The host had a wonderful welcome basket and a binder to help us get to know the area. The kitchen is well stocked. The couch pulls out so you could sleep on it or relax after a long day of hiking. I missed that there wasn’t a TV when I booked, but we streamed on a laptop. We would LOVE to stay here again. We highly recommend this place.

We loved our visit to the farm. We enjoyed seeing the baby goats. This was a great location as we visited several National Monuments in the surrounding area. The kitchen supplies are limited but we were able to make do with what was available. We probably cook more than most people.

In the middle of a 5 week camping trip we enjoyed the showers, beds, and washer/dryer. Nicely priced, clean, quiet, and allows pets. Don’t miss the Edge of the Cedars State Park.

Comfortable family setting with a good location for day trips in and out of parks and monuments. The apartment is very private with good parking. The Edge of the Cedars park and museum is at the end of the street. We were there three days and could have stayed longer with more to do.
