Great location very close to shopping and restaurants, spacious, comfortable, well appointed and impeccably maintained. Our host Mitch was super conscientious, communicative and hospitable. Every detail thoughtfully addressed from the comfy throws on the big cozy leather sofa (perfect for afternoon naps) to the air purifier to the new stainless grill in the ground floor storage room. Nice fenced in backyard for your furry friends, a fully furnished bright and airy kitchen and dining area, a huge big screen TV with all the streaming services ready to watch. The second story screen room looks out over the backyard and the mature oaks keep it shady and cool all day. Quality bedding, great water pressure and tons of hot water…let’s see, what did I forget? Oh yeah, my wife actually said she could live here. A first for any of the hundreds of vacation rentals we’ve stayed in. We didn’t want to leave but we’ll definitely be back! Thanks Mitch! ##### Bill B.
