Comfortable home away from home

Family Visit

We enjoyed our time here. It was the perfect location and gave up plenty of room to visite with family. Marie was great to work with. She thought of everything for our stay. We may look to stay here again vs a hotel when we come to this area.

Great Rental

We were in town to celebrate our son’s wedding. This house was very spacious and was in close proximity to restaurants, grocery stores, and pharmacies. The communication with the owner was excellent and the house had helpful notes and informational signs to make things easier for us. The stay in this house was excellent! Thank you Marie!

Great Weekend!

This property was even better than pictured. It’s beautifully appointed, had everything you could want & need. It was like being in a home away from home. Marie, the property manager, was very responsive & helpful. We were in town to visit family. When we return we hope to stay here again. Thank you, Marie!!

Great home for a family gathering

This is a beautiful home with a great atmosphere. My two adult daughters were able to have separate rooms which could have accommodated their families too. The house was very clean and toiletries were provided. No need to run to the grocery store for toilet paper, shampoo or bath wash. Kitchen is well equipped for preparing family dinners and grilling out. We enjoyed relaxing on the patio. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. I would love to come back and stay a little longer.

What a wonderful place!

You can look at all the pictures you want but it won’t do this place justice! This place is superbly decorated and had everything you could possibly need. We loved staying! Marie was super accommodating and when we needed one more night she made it simple. The backyard was pretty and comfortable for relaxing! Thanks, Marie, for everything!

Normal weekend

Unfortunately, although the property has many strong points, the cleanliness both inside and outside was way below what should be expected in a VRBO rental.

Nice place for a group

Our family of 9 came to the area for a family funeral. Marie was very easy to work with on my last minute booking. It was so nice to have a comfortable place to sleep and gather. The kitchen had everything we needed. We just brought our K-cups and a few groceries!

Excellent Experience For Any Group of Travelers

We absolutely loved staying at Marie's home. They have been very thoughtful in making their home inviting for adults like us and also for families with children. The amenities and set-up make this house a home. As another reviewer noted, the photos don't do it justice; it's much nicer with lots of space.

Girlfriend trip

A group of six friends stayed at this townhome. It was beautifully decorated. Great location close to restaurants and shopping. We had everything we needed and had a great time. Even though we had a minor problem with batteries in a smoke detector, the owner was very responsive and had someone come over to rectify the problem. Would definitely come back again!,

Perfect VRBO - Location, Features, & Amenities!

Wow! Marie outdid herself with appointing this property. First off, it is super clean and beautifully decorated, and the space was perfect for old college friends reuniting for a weekend at Homecoming. Marie has furnished everything from dishes, to coffee, to very comfortable beds. We definitely want to stay here in the future.
