We had a great stay! The house was very clean and had a ton of thoughtful amenities throughout. The kids’ playroom was a huge hit and honestly one of the best additions we’ve seen at a VRBO, especially traveling with a little one. The house felt very kid-safe, which made the stay much more relaxing for us. The location was also convenient and made it easy to get to all of our destinations. We would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful guests! They took such great care of my home and left everything incredibly clean—I could hardly tell anyone had stayed. They were an absolute pleasure to host. I'd happily welcome them back anytime!

This property was great! Lots to do in the home itself especially of you have children. We would definitely stay here again of were in the area. We had a few unfortunate issues that were out of anyone's control like the hot tub not working. And we couldnt use the back yard due to grass being grown. There is a park close by and Walmart is close as well! Kate was great at responding and trying to get the hot tub working for us. Highly recommend this place! Thanks again!

Kate's property is very well maintained with ample space and very nice amenities and rooms. Check in process could not have been easier. This was a perfect property for our family! We're a competitive group so we very much enjoyed the garage basketball game and the basement ping pong table. The nice sized dining room table was great for card games on the rainy weekend. The master bedroom was also perfect for our new mother with her 7 week old baby. I would definitely recommend Kate and her beautiful property to any family especially if you have little ones.Thank you very much Kate! You made our weekend hassle free and enjoyable!!Duane
