Great place to stay
This is my second time staying here and I am sure I will be back. I like the spaciousness, quiet, and peaceful surroundings. It is easy to get where I need to be and communication with the owner is a breeze. The place was warm during my winter stay even though the furnace can be a bit loud at times it didn't interrupt my sleep. Bonus is having laundry there and the necessary amenities for a weeks stay.

Girls' Getaway
The four of us friends decided to go to Alexandria this year for our annual girls' getaway weekend. Rather than staying in a hotel I found this VRBO. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and are already discussing next year's trip. The house was cute and cozy. It was very clean and well maintained. It had all we needed just to hang out and enjoy the property itself. David was very accommodating and accessible when we had a question. He was pleasant and was easy to correspond with. Thank you David for making our trip fun and enjoyable. Would definitely stay here again!

Best VRBO we have stayed at!
The property is so very well maintained and streamlined. The beds are super comfortable and so much space for each person to sleep with privacy and a TV for each sleeping area. The location was fanastic, within walking distance to parks, shops and coffee! David was a very responsive host providing directions to assure we found it easily. Highly recommend this VRBO.

Cute for a sleepover
First let me caveat by saying that it is an adorable clean and large space that would be great for a family a group of friends. It was in a perfect location! The TV's are a little oddly placed, but hopefully you'll be out doing other things anyway! One suggestion I might make to the owner is to provide a few more kitchen gadgets towels etc. do ALWAYS have a working dishwasher and since it sleeps 8, how about a modern farmhouse that seats 8? The adorable kitchen is huge! And how about a BBQ grill? One safety concern; place a bumper on the farmhouse sliding doors to protect little fingers! The beds are a little small for adults with bad backs, so pick your bed carefully! This place is great value overall!
