Exactly as indicated
This condo is immaculate, well-appointed, and exactly as indicated in the details. The unit included everything we needed and wanted for a stress-free, quick, two night, anniversary get-away. Brandon is a responsive host-checking in on our stay and offering assistance if needed; however, since everything was perfect, no assistance was needed. We will definitely be back!

Cozy
Well maintained and updated condo. The only complaint we had is that there is only one mirror in the condo (located in bathroom), which made it difficult for three people to get ready at the same time. But the host was very responsive to it.

Great stay and Host!
Excellent Host (Brandon) who went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and happy with our stay. Well stocked, cute unit for a short stay. Comfortable bed and sofa and dining room chairs. Large TV (there is not one in the bedroom thought). We played golf at Eagle Pointe and rented pontoon for a day on the water. Great getaway for a couple of days. Will definitely return and stay here again.

Visiting son @ IU
Visiting during the Little 500! This condo was the perfect spot! Close enough to town—but removed from the bustle. Brandon was a great host—he has really thought of everything to make a relaxing retreat!!
