An amazing stay!

Our business held our staff retreat here while running basketball camps in the area. The proximity to the great downtown area, amenities, and attention to details made it one of the best VRBO experiences I’ve ever had!

Revisiting hometown memories

My daughter and I stayed for a week while we were handling some family business. Our mornings were glorious as we walked through the community to Central Park and up Main Street. The location is convenient to the parks and restaurants; the backyard is comfortable for relaxing morning and evening; the kitchen stocked well; the bedrooms comfortable and stylishly decorated. I would definitely choose this property again for a MIlford visit.

This was the perfect spot for our girls night. We enjoyed every part of the house and yard. The fire pit was the perfect touch to the cool night. One down side was that we only stayed one night. Thank you, Brandy, for a wonderful and beautiful place to stay!

Charming, Clean, Excellent Location

I cannot say enough wonderful things about our stay! We selected this rental to attend a local wedding and made it a long weekend. This house is adorable, super clean, and the host has thought of everything a group would need to have a comfortable and entertaining stay. The coffee/tea bar, locally brewed root beer on tap, cozy family room with soft blankets, comfortable bedding, and wonderfully stocked kitchen! We walked into Milford to shop and eat and enjoyed a day at Kensington Park a short drive away. Brandy was amazing and so accommodating for everything we needed!

Overall the house was in great shape. There were many nice touches, like snacks and coffee, everything in the bathroom was organized and labeled. The location is perfect. The only drawback is having just one bathroom.
