Great older home that has been renovated and updated. Clean and really appreciated having 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, washer/dryer, an BBQ. Huge back yard and being in a quiet neighborhood but still close to everything makes it ideal for families. Susan was super responsive throughout the booking and during the visit. So much to see and do in the area we hope to come back soon!

Nice house in a quiet but convenient neighborhood

We enjoyed our short stay in the middle of a quiet neighborhood that was a quick drive to everything in town. The house was as advertised; spacious and clean. Our stay was too short to really settle in, but we had everything we needed while we were there.
