The property exceeded all expectations. There was plenty of space for all five of us, the decor is clean and cozy and contemporary, and the neighborhood was quiet and calm and perfectly situated close to campus. The wildlife was just icing on the cake: we saw five deer multiple times, and two foxes, including one who slept in the yard for two days ##### E C.

Feb 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Charming House We came to visit my son for the weekend- the house was an older house that had some old features as my grandparents- like an indent in the wall where the phone used to sit and laundry whites in the wall. Everything was perfect and the house just oozed charm. One on my favorite places was the outside patio on top of the garage with string lights. Host was incredible and the house was immaculate. This is definitely a house you need to stay at- just a short walk to the park where we played pickleball all weekend long. ##### Kristen N.

I would recommend this place to anyone. ##### neil l. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Diane C.
