"This was the perfect place for seven adults to stay at to celebrate my sons 30th birthday. The house is in a great location. Very walkable area and easy to bike to breweries, mini golf, Camp Richardson, and lake. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare all our meals and the beds were very comfortable. The open floor plan upstairs and outdoor deck was a great space for my family to hang out at. We would definitely stay here again."
