This little bi-level home was so nice, so clean-with high-end finishes and well equipped with all our needs on a beautiful quiet street! Communication was great!We were a family of 5 adults with 2 children ages 5 and 2. The children loved the backyard! The patio and table were great for our dining needs! Although our visit did not have time to enjoy all our once sleepy, beautiful “home town” had to offer, we were amazed to see the growth and beauty of Main Street and all the new happenings taking place! Visitors: don’t miss the historical Loback’s Bakery - Yum!Gosh, it was unusually hot while visiting, the bedrooms slept comfortably with the ceiling fans and only recommendation would be a ceiling fan for the living room because their is no air conditioning or more portable room fans!We loved it! No real complaints and would stay again!

A slice of heaven in the mountain

This stay was fascinating. My family was just amazed at how beautiful, clean, and perfect the set up of the cabin and all it's amenities are. The deck and patio table, the lights, the fire pit, beautiful scenery surrounding, quiet little nook just 4min from the main street. Very comfy beds and couches. And full kitchen.

Was our first time staying in a VRBO in BV instead of lodging and it accommodated us well. Kitchen was equipped with all the necessary items and there were enough space for everyone. Nice backyard with patio and chairs to enjoy the cool evenings. Would stay here again.

Place is comfortable. Late August is hot, couldn't use the firepit. Takes into late evening to cool down the house .... but cold by the morning! Furniture is comfortable. Beds are good. In a nice quiet neighborhood, close walk to most things.

Wonderful home!

We visit BV often to see family, but had 5 adults & an infant this time to introduce Grandma to her first great- great grandson & just needed beds for all of us over the weekend. We didnt get to enjoy all of the available amenities but this home was perfect for our group! Beautifully decorated, clean & well equipped! Our hostess was very responsive to the one concern that we had & we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We'll save this property as a favorite for future trips!
