Pam was friendly and responsive. The house was cool inside so when we arrived after our daughter's softball tournament, it felt great! Clean and stocked well with everything we would need! (Coffee, Tupperware, dishes...etc) Would highly recommend. It was a quiet neighborhood and felt comfortable staying here.

I like the house and had a nice stay. The pickelball courts across the street were busy the whole time, and the park lights were on as late as 11:30 p.m. one night. Some blackout curtains in the bedroom would be nice.

The Rustic Retreat was very quaint and a perfect fit for my wife and I, and our daughter and son-in-law. We were in town right after Christmas to visit our other daughter and family. In spite of a blizzard that came out of nowhere, we still enjoyed our stay.
