"Everything was great in this quiet neighborhood. The house was cozy and very welcoming. Loved that there was plenty of towels and all the bath toiletries provided was a plus. There was coffee/hot chocolate pods provided which was nice plus since they are not always offered. The deck area with table and chairs was really nice(although the deck could have used a little tidying up)."

"Overall this was a great place for a quick night away. Property managers were wonderful. They quickly responded and took care of any issues. The bathroom outlets did not work. We were able to use an outlet from the kitchen island for curling iron- just enough cord to reach. But could not use the master outlets. One bedroom had no pillow cases but the property manager quickly handled and had the cleaner bring some over- they were wadded up when she gave them to us, so I'm not sure they were...

"Let me start by saying that the property manager Tobias was a good communicator. We had our family Christmas reunion here. The 3 units worked out well for our out of town families to stay. This is an old place that still needs repairs here & there but what house over 100 years old doesn’t. I’m sure it was grand in its early days. I’m happy that the owners have plans for repairs & more updating because I hate to see old homes get run down. There was a leak under one of the kitchen sinks. The...
