High School Reunion!

This was a sweet property for our little “friend reunion”. Only 6 of us, so plenty of space to spread out. Enjoyed the little shops, and had a great lunch at Grafton Pyster Bar.

Tori’s Final Fiesta

The house was beautiful and in the perfect location. It was walking distance to everything. Host was quick to respond when we had questions and checking into the house was super easy. We went for my sisters bachelorette party and there was plenty of room for all 10 of us. We are already planning a trip back and cannot wait to stay here again.

Great Communication and Customer Service

There were some things that happened on this trip that very difficult for our host to control and Christina rectified the situation and made everything right. This alone was top notch. I can’t recommend her enough. Highly recommend booking with her for that alone!

Getaway

The inside of this house is amazing. Christina has put forth special effort for her guests. She provided stocked coffee bar and other amenities not seen in other rentals. The town is so quaint. The river was beautiful.

Long-time friends

The 6 of us have been girlfriends for over 50 years. We enjoy our time together - we aren't able to do it very often. Grafton was the perfect spot for a 3 day get away - very relaxing and peaceful. thank you for sharing your home with us - the accomodations were perfect. The beds were so comfortable and there was plenty of room for us to sit around and visit together
