Recent 5-Star Guest Review
"We booked all three units of this house for our family and bridal party for our wedding weekend. It was absolutely perfect! The location is great, so much to do that is easy to walk to. The house is beautiful and comfortable and was able to host a large group of our family for our wedding breakfast. I can't say enough great things about Josh and the property!"

Great host and property

We had a great time in a lovely location. Easy walk to shops and food (as stated in the listing). The rooms had plenty of space and were clean. The information book was very helpful.We had an issue with hot water that was a struggle to resolve, but the host was fast to respond, asked permission to enter (came within an hour) and got a plumber to the property the day before Thanksgiving. As homeowners know, this is a feat in itself. Eventually, we turned off one of the hot water heaters, but the house has two so we were all set to enjoy the rest of our visit.

Stay for sisters bachelorette party

This house is so beautiful and the neighborhood is amazing! So many cute places within walking distance and we were able to have a wonderful time. The house is spacious and has plenty of sleeping options for large groups but everyone feels like they have their own private space. There is a super cute outdoor area out back as well. Loved staying here and would love to stay again
