This beautiful 1950s home was set among a lovely wooded property and we enjoyed being able to see the lovely landscapes from just about every room in the house! This is a unique home that the owners expanded over time to include a fun upstairs children’s room with a book nook as well as a first floor great room with a pot belly stove and cozy seating.
The kitchen was roomy and had ample counter space. We found appropriate dish ware for just about every meal we wanted to have on site - from breakfast before our metro rides to ice cream when we finally got back home. One day we even baked a pizza for lunch. The kitchen features a spacious refrigerator, range, oven, microwave, toaster, 12-cup coffee maker, and Keurig coffee maker. We gathered for breakfast at the kitchenette table and were very cozy there before starting our days. (That table also made for a great spot to charge all of our phones/devices each night!)
Both a first floor bedroom and the upstairs loft-type space featured two twin beds each. My children (11 & 14) settled in and felt right at home in their respective spaces. Of course, they both wanted the cool upstairs, so they swapped mid-week. For my hubby and I, the main floor master bedroom featured incredible wooded backyard views through large windows on two sides and a fun triangular window on a third side. The huge king size bed was very comfortable and we also loved the chaise lounge in the room — it was very comfortable the one time I got to it first!
There are two bathrooms in the house; one large and spacious near the first floors kids’ room and the other a little smaller en route to the master bedroom. Both gave our party of four plenty of space to take care of business.
The main living room had a nice-sized table where we gathered for game night a few times. My son also made full use of the lovely piano in this space!
Downstairs, we made ample use of the washer/dryer. The washer is the kind with the center agitator so depending on what you’re used to you may be running smaller loads more often.
We had an issue with some ants which the homeowner called professionals to address as quickly as possible. Also, the garage pictured is for access to the lower level apartment where the owner’s son lives- not part of the vrbo rental space. Plenty of outside parking.
Overall, we had a lovely stay! Beautiful area, great neighborhood! Loved all the personal touches in this home and yard!
