We would definitely stay here again. It is convenient location to downtown and onsite parking was a plus. The home was beautifully maintained and impeccably clean. Kitchen was lightly stocked with cooking tools.. but enough to get the job done. Not being a pet owner, I was a bit hesitant to rent as I am sensitive to pet odors. There was no evidence that the home was ever rented to pet owners. Jason was quick to respond and very accommodating.

What a beautiful spacious home! Very clean and had everything we needed! Our Hazel girl (pet) loved running in the back yard. Jason (Host) checked in on us to make sure we were having an enjoyable stay-he was so very kind! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Will definitely be checking availability when we come back to the area!
