Perfect getaway!

We decided to take a last minute trip and found this awesome townhome! The location was perfect to get to the state parks and the Utica restaurant scene, the townhome had everything we could have needed (including brand new towels and kitchen appliances, cookware, etc.), and the host was so easy to work with. Will definitely recommend this property to others! You could tell that it was newly renovated. So nice!

It was nice. Only issue we ran into was the conrs that were supposed to be blocking our dsignated parking wasnt there and the spots were in use. However the neighbors were polite enough to move one of theirs without issue.

Amazing place!

My wife and I wanted a nice place to stay with a full kitchen and a "non-public" hottub. This townhome exceeded our expectations. The two-person jetted tub in the Master bedroom with a fireplace (there's a bonus fireplace on the lower level in the family room as well) was so welcome during one of the coldest weekends of the year. The below-zero wind chills kept us from hiking the lovely parks near here, but our hostess provided us with fun games to play, books to read, a comfortable bed, and absolutely SPOTLESS accommodations. We'd recommend booking here, and we will plan on doing so again as well.

Fabulous stay

I enjoyed my stay at H4 unit. I had a few issues with things not working like tge bedside lamp, fireplace in master bedroom and refridgerator not having an icemaker or cold filtered water. All minor issues honestly and when I notified the owner she compensated me promptly for the non working items. The place was very clean and decorated nicely. All the amneties you could ask for to make you feel at home.
