One of our favorite VRBO stays! The house was spacious, well-appointed, and clean. The yard was also very large - I look forward to returning and taking advantage of the firepit, etc. Buried under a foot of snow during this visit! The owners were very helpful and responsive as well. We got stuck in the area due to weather and highway shut-down.. and they very quickly responded and extended our stay. This was greatly appreciated, as we were traveling with a dog.We look forward to our next visit!

We just came home from our second stay in the Huddle House and we can't recommend it enough! We love how spacious it is and no matter how many people are staying with us, it never feels cramped. The beds are all very comfortable and there are plenty of pillows and blankets. The kitchen is very roomy and well-equipped, and there is plenty of space for people to eat. We love the huge TVs in the living room and den. Perfect for watching the game or movies. We also can't say enough great things about the outdoor space. The back yard is beautiful and large. Our family loved gathering around the fire pit at night and our dog loved the freedom. There is plenty of comfortable furniture as well as a small grill for outdoor gatherings. The solar string lights create a wonderful atmosphere, too!
I'd like to add that Carol is an amazing host and is always happy to help- she is so friendly and consistently replies to any of our questions within a few minutes.
We're already looking forward to our next stay in the Huddle House!

Carol’s property was perfect for our family of teens and pups! The back yard was fenced in and the perfect place for our three pups to run and play. The location was ideal for us with plenty of options for eating and shopping nearby.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this house. There was plenty of room for 6 adults. We were very happy with the bedroom arrangements and the 2 1/2 baths. Everything we needed was provided, even use of the attached garage. The location was perfect for us too -close to restaurants, shops and the university. We would definitely stay again!
