Location is secluded enough to get you away from the city hustle, but still close enough with a short drive to enjoy the city. The house is roomy, clean and up to date. The host was very responsive and even allowed us to check in a little early. Not enough stars to give :) ##### Jason P. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nishia S.

The house is surrounded by trees for a private setting but was still in close proximity to everything we needed to see and do while visiting. The place was clean and stocked for cooking meals at the house. We used the bbq a couple nights too. We didn’t notice until we were leaving but there is a bunch of board games that we’ll be sure to play next time we book! ##### Nishia S. Stayed 8 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Traci K.
