We so enjoyed our stay at The Porch House!The home is so beautiful, welcoming and well appointed. We couldn’t ask for more in a rental. The back yard is just magical with the fire pit, twinkling lights, plenty of seating space and games to entertain the children.We plan to return again and again!

Excellent For a Girl's Trip!

This house is more than ideal for a group of close girlfriends. Easy access to shopping, dining and the such. Plenty spacious and very nicely decorated; sleeping arrangements were perfect. We had a lovely time and plan to return.
We had a little rain so couldn't enjoy the backyard too much, but this backyard photo op was perfect!
