Great location and house layout. Only two beds, both King, but several pullout sofas which were fine for kids. Loved the porch and swings. Nice big kitchen and dining room table for a group.

We stayed in this house for a wedding weekend. The location is great. The front porch is amazing. It was the perfect set up for my husband, kids, and I to be upstairs and his parents to take the downstairs
6 / 10Average·Jul 2024
Overall, we enjoyed our stay at this property. Great location with easy access to groceries, restaurants and downtown. The house is large and provides plenty of space for 6 or more. The amenities lists a hot tub, but there’s not one, a claw foot tub in the upstairs bathroom (not the same thing). There’s an ant issue in the kitchen around the sink, so beware of leaving food out/coffee spoons. Had to request the check in info a few hours before arrival, host was responsive when messaged.
