This was a wonderful homebase while my family was at the convention center
10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2026
This place was awesome! It’s huge and really nice, with tons of space in the rooms and big comfortable beds. The host seriously thought of everything, too, the kitchen was fully stocked with all the pots, pans, plates, and cups we needed, and they even left out coffee and hot cocoa. We also noticed right away that they didn’t skimp on the essentials as there were plenty of towels and all the soaps we could possibly need for dishes, hands, laundry, and showers. Enough space for 3 vehicles, and family friendly! It was a great start to our trip and an even better place to stay. We will absolutely be back!

Absolutely stunning property—even more beautiful in person than in the photos. The space was spacious, thoughtfully designed, and perfect for our group, with plenty of beds so everyone had a comfortable place to sleep. The host was incredibly kind, welcoming, and responsive, making the entire experience seamless from start to finish. The home was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful place to stay.
