House is very spacious—we had two families, 9 people total, including 5 kids, and had plenty of room. Awesome stay! ##### David B. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristy H. 27 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place for a large group We were in town for a baseball tournament. Had two families (5 people, 3 people). The basement was perfect for one family and the upstairs was perfect for the larger family. The property was clean. Good communication with the owner. Everything we needed was there including garbage bags, toilet paper, laundry soap, dish soap etc. We had a great stay. The beds were super comfortable too! ##### Kristy H. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amber R. 10 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great for Groups! My friends and I needed a place to stay for a wedding downtown and this was the perfect place! We loved having a full bath on each of the 3 floors and appreciated how quiet and residential the area was. It was a 5-10 minute drive to everything we needed. We were able to get groceries nearby, walk to restaurants, and felt very safe. Finding parking was a breeze. The house itself was perfect for our needs. One thing to note is one of the "bedrooms" is located at the back of the top floor landing (vs. a private room with a door) but that didn't matter to us nor affect our stay at all. Overall, we had a wonderful stay! ##### Amber R. Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Crystal d. 1 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Place to crash for family wedding We were in town for a family wedding. There were 12 of us, 16-77 years in age. There was plenty of room for everyone. Having 3 bathrooms to get ready in was great! The house was clean and inviting. We didn't have a lot of downtime over our stay, but I could see that the host provided games and such if you did. My only critique would be that there could be more mirrors. The only place to use a mirror was in a bathroom. So maybe an extra mirror on at least one of the interior bedroom closet doors on each bedroom level would have been helpful for our group. I did notice a pack-n-play in the bedroom I was in, very helpful for someone with littles. Also, some salt and peper in the kitchen would have been nice. ##### Crystal d.
