    Liked the property due to no other homes close by. Hard to get into lock box.

    It was easy to find. There is only room for one vehicle to park. Overall, it was great. There is a hot tub on the porch. The cottage is either fairly new or newly remodelled. It was very clean. I would definitely rent it again.

    The host and amenities were excellent! My roommate and I became ill the first night. The EMTs were called, and we returned home the following day

    The cabin was very clean and well-maintained. It is located on a quiet street with easy access to midtown. The host was very communicative and helpful. We enjoyed our stay.

    This place was completely amazing. We enjoyed ourselves so much. The air conditioning system worked so great! Very peaceful and great location. Enjoyed the night in the hot tub under the stars. Also having it be pet friendly was a plus. We will definitely be returning.

    The property was clean and a nice small space to stay in. My family stayed for 4 nights and 3 days. I would wonder if two twins in one bedroom will help when you have children with you. One child had to sleep on the couch because they can not share a bed (male and female). I cooked most nights. Pots and pans were on the smaller side to make a large meal but I made due. Hot tub isnt in a very private area but the neighborhood was private enough. Overall it was a great stay and close to all the places we visited. We did stay with our dog and there is no fenced in area, which we did know about so we planned accordingly.

    Nice cabin but on a steep hill. Parking is narrow and a little difficult. Porch gets lots of evening sunlight and less comfortable in summer. Location is good. Love the area.

    Listing was spot on about what was available. Beds were comfortable, but wobbly. We ended up sleeping in separate rooms because when one would turn over, it would wake the other up - at times it felt like i was on a bobbing boat. Would definitely recommend bringing ext
