North Star Place
This was a nice and convenient place to stay for an extended period of time. It was easy to access had plenty of open space, a bathroom and kitchen with anything you needed to cook and store food. The only con was the creeks and sounds of footsteps coming from the top floor, that wasn’t a deal breaker ...

Mary’s house
I enjoyed the modern construct of the home, and it was comfortable. The hot tub was an added bonus to the place! If i needed anything, the hosts were on it. I would have liked to have more options with cooking pots or pans/seasonings other than salt and pepper. But overall this is a great stay!
