We have 2 grown up kids, so 4 adults and 1 bathroom was a stretch at times. Mellisa answered my queries almost instantly. Thoroughly recommend a stay here !!

Artsy Hangout

KarenRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We needed a place to stay for a family function, and Christian and Melissa’s home was very comfortable and clean. We rented both the front and the back of the house which gave our 10 person family plenty of room to visit and be together. Also, the yard was a great place to sit outside and enjoy the weather. We would definitely rent from them again.

We were in town to visit family and we decided to try an AirBNB and so glad that for our first time, Christian and Melissa made it such an easy checkin and checkout, had clear instructions on what was available and what was expected of us as guests. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you so much, would stay again for sure.
