We always leave the door unlocked and the keys on the end table. Of course you can keep it locked when you are occupying the home. This is a safe neighborhood and this is how we do it. The kitchen to the house is a great size. Perfect for hanging out with your family or friends especially on a rainy day.

Linda’s property was perfect for our week at All Star Village and only a 10-15 minute drive from the baseball field. Although we didn’t spend much time at the house during the day it was a great space. The yard would be perfect to hang out in and play some wiffle ball. The house was stocked with everything we needed. I would highly recommend drakes escape!

House close to ASV

Great stay while our son played as ASV. Linda was very responsive and communicative. The neighborhood was a little older and across some railroad track/industrial area but was very quiet. Had some ants show up on the kitchen counter unfortunately. Lots of antique furniture.

Our host Linda was amazing! She gave us great recommendations for local food spots and points of interest. She was always super quick to respond and the house was spotless. The house was very comfortable and had a huge kitchen. We loved the super large backyard which had a tire swing and basketball hoop too. Would definitely recommend this spot!

Fantastic property, fantastic host

The house is exactly as described, the large kitchen made meal prep a breeze and three comfortable bedrooms were the perfect resting place after long days a CASV. The property and pavilion is perfect for hosting team gatherings and some other families from the team rented the other two cabins so we used the backyard quite a bit for bbq's and hanging out. Linda and family were very welcoming and responsive. This property was perfect for our stay and we wouldn't hesitate to stay again.
