10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at the cottage was perfect. Darcy and Steve are wonderful people and such friendly hosts. There are so many aspects in which they obviously put a lot of thought / attention to detail to make a persons stay there comfortable , relaxing and welcoming. Really, any need a person might have, it was provided for... and then some. Loved the pool and hot tub, the outdoor space had really comfortable furniture, as did the inside. Very comfy bed. Well stocked kitchen including snacks, treats and breakfast fixins. Nice quiet neighborhood. And 2 sweet dogs to interact with ! Thanks Darcy and Steve! What a great time we had there! Del and Celine"

Sycamore Inn

"W"

Campus/Central location on Legion Ave! w/garage

10/10 Excellent

"Love staying here, it was close to town but enough outside of it so you don’t feel like you’re in the mess. Only had one slight snafu with the air-conditioning where I thought it was on, but only had the fan going so it got extremely hot. Luckily, the host was very responsive, and I got the place cooled down rather quickly. I love the fact that they had bikes in the garage that could be used to go into town without using the car. I definitely would like to stay here again."

Urban Retreat King Bed Loaded with Entertainment

10/10 Excellent

"Great location close to downtown and the Esplanade. Charming mid-century home. The oven/stovetop is 60’s-era GE and I personally thought it was great. Parking is somewhat limited."

Luxury 4BR Family Home w/ King Suite + Game Room

10/10 Excellent

"The house is beautiful and clearly well cared for in a nice neighborhood. The fenced back yard is so green and pleasant and would be great for pets. My small granddaughters loved running on the green grass and throwing themselves down on the grass. The bathroom in the master bedroom is so perfect with double sinks, a tub and shower. We were there for my other granddaughters wedding so didn’t spend as much time there as we would have liked. Since we have several grandkids living in the area, we will be back. I especially loved the way our hosts responded almost immediately every time I sent them a message. That is super valuable to me!"
