Loved the dog friendly touches-bowls, treats, dog bed. Very accommodating. ##### Jana C. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### William P. 12 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Awesome and Relaxing Our stay was awesome! This home is lovely with a fantastic back yard and multiple decks. The location is very quiet and relaxing, but very close to an assortment of great restaurants. Our host Andrea was excellent checking in everyday to see if everything was to our liking. All amenities were provided for. It was an excellent stay and we will be back!! ##### William P. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Faye K. 18 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great for long term stays I actually stayed at this property for several weeks due to being displaced from my home for repairs. It's a really great space for long term stays in that you have access to all the closet space, etc. The natural light in the house is AMAZING. My dog really enjoyed the back yard, and the neighborhood was super friendly. My only comment - in order to access a bathroom or bedroom, you must take the stairs. This was no problem for me, but something to consider for those who have trouble with walking, etc. ##### Faye K. Stayed 8 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ann W. 9 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### House in the woods The house was very clean and in a good neighborhood. There are a lot of steps so would not recommend to people with small children. Only had sample sizes of toiletries. ##### Ann W. Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### CHRISTOPHER P. 22 Mar 2025 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication #### Burst pipe. Terrible experience. In the middle of our stay, a pipe burst on the bottom floor spewing some nasty smelling water everywhere. The host, Andrea with TriangleBnB, offered us another one of their properties to stay in. Unfortunately, the new property was a big step down: much smaller, no parking on site, in a worse neighborhood across the street from an abandoned building surrounded by barb wire.The pipe incident, the mid-trip move, and the worse property made this trip extremely tough on me, my wife, and our young son. ##### CHRISTOPHER P.
