When entering the bonus room, please watch for the step.
The front gate is being worked on and is tied open—please do not remove or tamper with the stakes.
🚫 Do not park in front of the business across the street. Thank you!
There is local street artwork near the home—if cars slow down to look, that’s completely normal!

My friend and our two 13-year olds needed a place with enough beds (this was perfect - the boys got the two twin beds), within walking distance of downtown (about 2 miles) and somewhere safe so the boys could wander around without us. They really enjoyed being independent. We also enjoyed the hot tub. The house was very clean, very comfortable and nicely decorated. Communicating with the host was super easy, they were very quick to reply and give suggestions. Nothing about this visit would we change.

The hot tub was dirty and cold. Trash and old appliances scattered throughout. Dog waste from other dogs. The listing said sleeps 8 but 6 was the max for much was fine for our family. The queen bed is a full be
