Magical little cottage in the city

We stayed for a week and had such a wonderful time. The home is beautiful, clean, comfortable, and the photos are a perfect description. While we were there we saw fireflies, an owl, bunnies, a doe and fawn, chipmunks, squirrels, cardnials, and many others birds. The neighborhood is quiet and beautiful. We absolutely would stay here again.

Classy & Quiet

My daughter and I stayed in this home while we were in town for a conference. The location is wonderful! Quiet, beautiful neighborhood with kind neighbors! Very easy to find and access. But even better is the inside of the home! Obviously newly remodeled, very modern, and homey. Lots of thoughtful extras in every room and the decor was top notch! The house is incredibly clean and comfy. Communication with the owners was also fast and pleasant. We enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend to anyone!
Loved the kitchen and they had coffee!!

Exceptionally clean! Quiet neighborhood and nice kitchen appliances. Wish there was a toaster, but it was not listed as having one.We ended up sleeping on the two single beds because the queen is against the wall and too difficult to get out of bed in the middle of the night for us.
