Great stay in a small, cozy house. Very responsive host. Clean and usable kitchen. Not recommended for people that have trouble with stairs as stairs are fairly steep. Would definitely stay again if in the area.

Sister’s Celebration of life

Adorable, comfortable, clean house with excellent communication from the hosts. You should be able to navigate stairs easily if using the upstairs bedroom, as they are high and the only bathroom is downstairs. Very enjoyable stay during a difficult time. :)

Great place to stay

Nice cute house. Clean and comfy. Really comfy beds, good hot shower with water pressure. We weren't there for very long but the back yard, kitchen and laundry would have been great had we needed them. Parking is on the street but we had no trouble parking with in a couple houses. Felt safe and secure. Road noise was minimal.
