thanksgiving stay

Property was very nice older home. Kitchen was fully stocked with all the pots, pans, knives, etc. you need which was great for us to prepare thanksgiving dinner. The only issue we had was the air freshener or something in the house was pretty strong and was causing my partner to cough a lot.

Perfect location! Such a lovely home!!

We were in town for a family wedding shower and some meetings for work. The location was great. The home is pet friendly which is important to us. The home was built sturdy so the walls are thick, some of us go to bed early, some stay up later, couldn’t hear the tv in the living room with the doors shut. We would definitely stay here again.

Visiting college students

What a beautiful property. This is a wonderfully unique property nestled in a quiet neighborhood set one block off Sayles. Historic charm with new renovations throughout. The best stocked kitchen of any VRBO we have ever reserved. Beautiful flower gardens and the covered porch begs for you to come sit and enjoy the day conversing with family and friends. Location was great. Just minutes from the downtown Soda district and a short 8 minutes from ACU. A truly hidden gem.
