8 / 10Excellent·Jun 2026
This home is a 4.5 star rating as it was extremely clean, great modern updates to the home and great communication with the owners. The main bedroom was roomy which would easily accommodate a pack & play if needed. The 2nd bedroom was small but easily accommodated a couple. The living room didn’t accommodate easy interaction as it had a couch that was comfortable but had a trundle bed as the 2nd furnishing which was not comfortable and made interacting difficult. The bathrooms were very nice and modern with the shower on the lower level that was excellent. The upstairs bathroom had a large tub that looked inviting. Overall, the home is very clean and well maintained. A table that can accommodate 4 people to eat family style or gather for game activities would be another recommendation. Lastly, owners have a reasonable request to remove shoes before entering the home - a small bench or chair would make that task easier. Highly recommend staying especially if you’re looking for a nice quiet place.
