    Stayed Aug 3, 2025

    We stayed at the Retro Gem during a business trip and really appreciated having a comfortable, well-appointed home base. The house was clean, the beds were very comfy, and the decor was fun and welcoming. The kitchen had everything we needed, and host communication was excellent—quick and helpful throughout our stay.We especially enjoyed the backyard for a casual BBQ and a few games of cornhole. Plus, the walkable neighborhood was a treat—grabbing ice cream down the block became a nightly ritual!Overall, it was a great stay in a charming space. Would definitely recommend!
