Weekend Getaway

My only reasoning for not giving 5 stars is that the rental is listed as “entire home”. The space was attached to a main house. There was no one staying there at the time but if there was I would not have liked that. There was also no oven or stove top, which was not the biggest deal but something to be aware of. Other than those two things we really enjoyed our stay! The place was very cute and clean. We loved how quaint.it was and its location was great! I would stay again. .

Very cute and comfy spot!

Perfect size for just one person to "hide away" for a week of unplugged glory. It was pretty close to a pretty busy road, but the host was kind enough to leave earplugs for sleeping and that fixed the problem! Everything was very clean and inviting. My only (and it's very small) complaint would be that the coffee supplies were outdated and that I was sharing the space with quite a few spiders. But, I don't mind spiders, so we all got along quite nicely. :) Host was great on communication and I would stay here again. Great place!

An Okay Place

Really not a bad place. But the one thing my son mentioned is the aggressive language of the rules which seem to be preemptive threats as protection for the owner. And the monitoring cameras. These things made the stay less than enjoyable.

Adorable and cozy!

He had such a fantastic stay here. Perfect location, quiet but so close to everything. There were many updates to the property that made the stay extremely comfortable. Communication with the host was great, the place was perfectly equipped with everything we needed, so clean, and I loved the interior décor. You could tell the host put thought into all the details! Would definitely stay again!
