This was the best experience I ever had with short term rentals. The house was super nice, comfortable, clean, in a great neighborhood. The hosts Colleen and Ted were lovely, we had a hand written Merry Christmas card from them, candy and flowers. Absolutely lovely. We could use the barbecue grill and the fire pit outside. The rooms were comfortable, the beds were great, the towels and showers were awesome. This was a 10 out of 10 experience, everybody loved it and our Christmas was great. Oh and you shouldn’t miss all the Christmas lights in the neighborhood, it was so nice.
