Property was 2 miles from everything! House was clean and AC felt cool in hot weather. We felt very comfortable - like a nice hotel in a history-rich environment!!
This home was perfect for my family very spacious, clean and new!. It is equipped with everything you need if you want to cook a meal. We grilled steaks one night on the charcoal grill. It is perfectly located 7 minutes from the town’s center. Highly recommend!
Absolutely stunning property in a great part of town, super close to everything and plenty of room inside. The house was stocked with everything you could ever need in a vacation rental “especially the kitchen” my girlfriend and I were able to cook our own amazing meals thanks to equipment provided by the owners. Fantastic communication with the property owners and cleaner than most other properties on this app. Can’t recommend this one enough.
Good parking, quiet , spacious. Well equipped kitchen. Comfortable beds. Yard was not as big as it looked in photos. Not great water pressure but okay. Thanks for supplying the Clue game.
