Perfect weekend spot for a family
10 / 10Outstanding·Feb 2026
Echoing another review this was one of the most thoughtfully appointed places we've stayed in. Lots of gadgets in the kitchen, stocked coffee bar, tvs everywhere with easy login and automatic log out of streaming accounts. Blankets for the sofas. Games for all ages. Clean and comfortable. Attentive owner. Really fabulous.

This was the most well thought out short term rental that we have stayed it. From the nightstands having plugs built in to the welcome snacks, this comfy house had it all! Excellent house and great management! Super close to ND. Stayed here while touring school. Definite 5 star!
10 / 10Outstanding·Dec 2025
My husband, myself and two sons (ages 12 & 15) recently stayed here and really enjoyed the space. The house is in a great location, super clean and well maintained. Tons of thought went into the layout of the space and tons of extras, like comfy blankets, to make it feel like a home away from home. And the host went above and beyond to make sure our stay went smoothly- communicated clearly and offered to let us check out late or stay an extra night due to the snow. We'd definitely stay here again.
