Second year we stayed at this property. Its location is ideal for enjoying the area. It is close to walking paths, beautiful parks, equine center, restaurants, and stores. Host was good at communication and responding to our needs. The property was clean, very nice, and comfortable. Couldn't be happier.

Clean and spacious property!

We only stayed for one night but would definitely stay again at this property! We have family nearby so it was conveniently located, plus great springs and parks nearby. The house was very clean and well equipped, even some essentials in the fridge and pantry for us which we greatly appreciated. The owner was very friendly and communicative. Overall just a great stay.

Very cozy and clean home. Everything was better than I expected. Only thing I would recommend is, maybe getting a new mattress for the queen bed, as it was very loud every time we moved. Even with that, I still highly recommend this home away from home!
