This is my second time staying here and I am sure I will be back. I like the spaciousness, quiet, and peaceful surroundings. It is easy to get where I need to be and communication with the owner is a breeze. The place was warm during my winter stay even though the furnace can be a bit loud at times it didn't interrupt my sleep.
Bonus is having laundry there and the necessary amenities for a weeks stay.

David was prompt with his communication, the house was perfectly clean, and ready to go! We had easy access to everything in the city (walking distance) and was a short drive from the lakes. I would definitely stay here again.

The property was absolutely charming, immaculately kept, nicely decorated and very spacious. All appliances appeared to be new/newer. We didn’t want to leave and will definitely rent here again. David was very kind and prompt to respond. Highly recommend if in the area.

The host was very helpful. Always got back to us by text fast and answered our phone calls one the first call. Very accommodating. Had towels and soap, shampoo, conditioner…tv had a lot of channels to choose from. Ample parking for 4 cars. I would stay here again if in the area again! Don’t have to do anything before you leave. We did the dishes and took the trash out.

The property is so very well maintained and streamlined. The beds are super comfortable and so much space for each person to sleep with privacy and a TV for each sleeping area. The location was fanastic, within walking distance to parks, shops and coffee! David was a very responsive host providing directions to assure we found it easily. Highly recommend this VRBO.
