For me, being outside of the city was a major plus. It's close enough to all the restaurants and the hospital. Pet friendly and very comfortable. We much enjoyed the stay.

Potosi getaway

This spot was great, looks exactly like the pictures. The hosts communicated everything we needed to know before hand and made it super easy to check in. The location was also great, close to Sunn Haus Brewery. Highly recommend staying here.

We were unable to gain access to the cabin because the electronic lock hadn't been enabled. A few minutes on the phone with VRBO Customer Service and the host resolved the issue and we were only slightly delayed.Other than that, the cabin was exactly what we expected. Comfortable and a great location for our celebratory dinner at the Perini Steakhouse.

Cozy cottage

Great place to stay, clean and best of all pet friendly. Would definitely stay here again if I’m in the area. Although I always bring my own toiletries and other things the host has put out extra items for you to use in case you forget to bring your own. That is thoughtful !
