REVIEWS:
Our house is a 5 star home with over two dozen perfect reviews. When we recently changed property managers our prior reviews were lost, but here is what some guests have said about our home:
- “Perfect location! The house is larger than the picture indicates”
- “They have thought of everything—kitchen supplies, plush robes, etc. Could not have been happier”
- “The house kept cool in the day time and the beds were all very nice”
- “The house was absolutely perfect. We were able to sleep everyone comfortably
and we made good use of the bbq and kitchen.
- “Great location within easy walking distance to State Street.”
- “The house is a beautiful Victorian and furnished nicely”
- “Everything was VERY CLEAN”
- “This was a great location. We especially liked the back patio and front porch
swing. One thing to note is there are no bathrooms upstairs.”
- “Would book again!”
- “Gorgeous house. Really lovely and comfortably furnished. My friends and I
wished we could have stayed longer.”
- “We loved our stay here. It’s a quiet location close to downtown. Would stay
again 10/10.”
- “My Avon teammates and I stayed at the house. It was very comfortable and had
enough space so we weren’t tripping over each other. The back yard was a great
place to chill and chat over a glass of wine. I would definitely stay here again.”
- “A great family house. Plenty of room for our family of 5 and my sister with her
family of 4. …the upstairs space with beds and tv was great for the kids. My
teens don’t like to share beds so the twin beds upstairs were perfect.”

We loved this house, everything was accommodating for a group of girls. The only "complaint" we had was there was an odor in the house.

We were very pleased with our stay in this adorable house! The 10 adults in our party were very comfortable staying in this house. The upstairs had plenty of mirrors and was a great space to get ready in. The house had plenty of towels and supplies. Definitely would stay here again!

Moms Getaway
We stayed at this house for our annual Mom’s getaway and enjoyed it very much. Great location, we were able to walk to State Street for dinner every night. Very clean, we felt safe, and very comfortable beds. No bathroom upstairs which might be difficult with kids/families but was fine for our group. Thanks for a great stay.
