The place is beautiful; the owners did a great job renovating and decorating. We had a good stay, although anyone renting this property should be aware that the wall between the two properties is thin, we could hear our neighbors well. Also, there are dogs that bark, not that that is the owner's fault. This is a great property if you rent both sides of the property for a larger group.

Biz trip

Great location and super cute. Looks just like the pics and had a sweet little welcome note with goodies when I arrived. Would stay again for sure. The only negative is the walls are super duper thin and if someone is staying in the unit next door, you can hear everything. It’s still a nice place, and there are even a few restaurants and antique shops close by. Lee was a great host and very communicative and helpful. Right across the river from downtown and very convenient. Enjoyed my stay.
