Very accommodating!

This charming two story house had everything in my opinion. Spacious living and dining rooms, full kitchen, private master bedroom with full bathroom and multiple sitting areas including two desks and many accessories. Beautiful back yard with garden area and sun porch. Highly recommend!

So many chairs outside on the property was wonderful! Under the front porch or under a tree in the backyard, or in the enclosed back sitting area; wherever you want to just relax. Neighborhood was quiet. Interior is so spacious, you could hold a small group event upstairs or downstairs. Very clean and well stocked cabinets for food or jump out to the backyard and grill! Will definitely stay here again when my travels bring me back to the area. The host was always available!

We had one little issue with the WiFi because Century Link went down on Sunday so we had no Internet the last three days of our stay. This was not due to the host, however, because she was not aware of the Century Link shut down.
