Renovated 4BR Gathering Place/Brookside/Riverside

Ours was multigenerational gathering- with this house as gathering place to visit and cook and come and go. We walked to Starbucks, went with children to discovery lab and gathering place, fed fish and turtles, played games and enjoyed back yard. Good number of comfortable sleeping places. Responsive host..

We had a great experience. The house is very cute and clean, it was in a great area close to many shops and places to eat. We would definitely recommend and had a great time!

This house worked great for our family. We traveled with our family with three kids 5 and under, as well as two grandparents and a cousin. There was plenty of room for all of us. Perfect location for what we had planned. We hit the zoo (less than 20 minute drive), aquarium (less than 15 minute drive), Discovery Lab, and the Gathering Place (everyday). Both the Discovery Lab and Gathering Place were within 5 minutes drive. I will note the property lists The Gathering Place as a 9 minute walk, which is technically true because a portion of it that contains a small playground and splash pad extends that close. But the main area of the park, with all the really cool play areas for kids, requires a short drive. Again, 5 minutes down the road and absolutely worth it. Speaking of walking, the street and block you’re on doesn’t have sidewalks. I would have been fine walking alone there to one of the many close restaurants or Starbucks, but with our younger kids in tow I didn’t feel safe doing that. But with everything so close it was nothing to load up in the car and drive. Parents of small children know that a short drive is the real MVP. It’s right around the corner from coffee, a gas station, 2 grocery stores, and ice cream. None of these small things affected my rating. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. The host was very helpful, prompt with replies, and best of all there wasn’t a literal laundry list of instructions at checkout. Thanks for a wonderful week!

For the most part the location is clean and spacious within walking distance of a great breakfast place and shops. My only issue was with the beds and linens. We found hair on almost all the linens which made us question whether they had actually been laundered. My wife ended up cleaning them herself in the unit's washing machine. The linens and pillows are also rather thin and could use an upgrade.
