10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Nov 2025
The host did a fantastic job answering all my questions promptly prior to check in. Also taking care of a heating issue during our stay.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Aug 2025
Convenient location and adjacent to biking and walking path. Lots of family room space and we had fun in the game room. Large yard in back. Multi levels of bedrooms and baths worked great for our group of 7. Most bathrooms have walkin tub with showers. Not my favorite. The house was missing some needed kitchen and cleaning basics. For our group it was a great fit.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jul 2025
The house suited our needs for a gathering of five couples for 3 nights. We liked the convenient location. Overall, I was disappointed in our stay. The cleanliness was questionable.
