Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah W. 6 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had a great stay at this home! The host was very responsive and check-in was easy. The house had plenty of space and storage for our group of 8, and the bedrooms were all comfortable and welcoming. The kitchen was well-stocked with just about everything we needed to prepare meals, which made our trip so much easier.The home itself felt very inviting, and I especially enjoyed spending time on the enclosed front porch. It was also a nice bonus to have a smart TV for downtime. The location was also excellent — we could walk to shops, restaurants, and museums, and the hiking areas we wanted to explore were just a short drive away. Having EV charging within walking distance was another big plus.We would definitely recommend this property and would be happy to stay here again! ##### Sarah W.
