We stayed here for a weekend to check out the local antique stores. The house was clean, easy to find, and convenient. Great place for a quick getaway!
The house was a perfect fit for us 8 bowlers for the women’s state bowling tournament. Very clean and roomy and convenient location. We enjoyed it immensely and highly recommend it!!!
David was a great host and the house was exactly what we needed for a weekend stay. Everything was super clean, the kitchen had all of the basics and the neighborhood feels incredibly safe. We would definitely stay here again.
The house was perfect for our girls weekend and having the extra sleeping space and bathroom upstairs worked great. The location was great and centrally located. The only suggestion we had was to maybe add wine glasses to the supplies and a broom or small vacuum. Thank you!
We were in town for a bowling tournament. This was convenient and close. It was very clean and cozy. David was a great host. Quick to respond to questions.
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.
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.
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.
Rental was nice and conveniently located. Host responded promptly to emails and phone call. Alexandria offered many things to see and beautiful scenery.
