8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Dec 2025
The house was lovely and located close to the festival we were attending. The downside - it is located right next to a train track. The train came through several times during the night and early in the morning blowing the horn many times as it passed. I’m sure that isn’t listed since most people don’t want to hear that while on vacation. If you are a light to moderate sleeper I’d skip this stay. I slept through the train but the other housemates did not.

We decided not to bring our pets, but the fenced yard is really nice. Great decor and comfortable beds. Great old house with high ceilings and modern kitchen. Enjoyed the stay.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Feb 2025
Most everything was fine for our weekend stay. House has a nice xeriscaped front area, probably looks amazing in the spring. House was cute inside and out. Negatives: tub was dirty with some sort of grime that we had to clean so we could use. The fridge functioned but obviously there were issues with the shelving as it was held in place by duct tape. One of the arm chairs was damaged and if you were not paying attention you could get scratched by the loose upholstery staples.
