8/10 Good

"This was awesome! Be careful of the road coming in, A LOT of pot holes."

Couple`s Cottage - Serene Getaway!

10/10 Excellent

"Such a cute spot for a getaway trip!"

Only minutes from the WEC, this home is exactly what you're looking for!

10/10 Excellent

"Great host, excellent area. Had a slight delay getting in since the key code door lock would not work, but got that resolved relatively quickly with the host. Kitchen could have used a better cleaning, but nothing horrible. Kids liked that they each got their own bedrooms. Only other suggestion would be a small tv in one of the spare rooms, instead of just 1 in the living room. Would stay here again if we were in the area."

Equestrian Escape - 5 Mi to WEC

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was perfect!"

10/10 Excellent

"House was well kept and very clean upon arrival. Great yard for our dogs to run around in a quiet neighborhood. Even though animals are welcome here, the house did not smell like pets! Kitchen had nice pots and pans, not the typical cheap set you find in most rentals. Host was responsive and friendly! If you’re in the area na need a place to stay this is the one!"
