Wonderful stay

Posted Oct. 20, 2024 on HomeAway
Booked this property when we visited for my nephew’s wedding. Everything was amazing! Exactly as described. We had a group of several family members who enjoyed all of the areas to sit and visit. Very comfortable home in a nice quiet area. We had everything we needed and the communication with our host was outstanding! I would definitely recommend this property!!

Marvelous

Posted Sep. 9, 2024 on HomeAway
This home was a perfect place for our Ladies Weekend and we enjoyed it very much. Very well appointed and decorated. Loved the wrap around porch and we used it every day! Dexter has a fascinating history and is very friendly. Drew's Chocolates is an absolute must!! We would return in a heartbeat.

Half way!

Posted Aug. 27, 2024 on HomeAway
This town is about half way between Kansas and Wisconsin. We got together with my husbands family from Kansas, for a little time together before school started. Every nice home for the 12 of us!! Table was large enough for all of us to play family games! We also enjoyed sitting on the front porch drinking coffee in the morning.

Terrific property

We really enjoyed our stay. It is a beautiful vintage home and very affordable. Instructions were easy to understand and I hope we followed them correctly. We only wish we had had more time to spend enjoying this property.

Perfect

Posted May 22, 2024 on HomeAway
The occasion for our visit was one of our son’s wedding. My husband and I arrived ahead of everyone else, prepped the rehearsal dinner on the charcoal grill and in the kitchen. Family and guests starting arriving on Friday. The house was everything we needed; from the kitchen to the sleeping arrangements, adults to toddler to preschool. The owner was very welcoming, helpful and prompt to text questions. The house was clean, well stocked with bed linens, and very nicely decorated. Thank you for sharing your house with us!

Home away from home

Posted Dec. 28, 2023 on HomeAway
The home is beautiful and full of character! We loved everything about it. The best part was we arrived after dark and the host had the porch light and a couple lights on inside for us! Made us feel welcomed and at home. The home fit all of our needs right down to a playpen, high chair, and stroller for the 1 year old. It was nice not to have to load those around. My husband and I had 4 teens, 2 under 10, and a 1 year old and the house was the perfect size. The host was amazing and easy to talk to and made sure all our needs were met. This home has been added to our list of places to stay again, hopefully with better weather so we can enjoy the porch and yard!

Great stay, clean and great communication

Posted Oct. 15, 2023 on HomeAway
The home was clean and the owner provided plenty of necessities, such as paper towels, towels and toilet paper. Very good communicator and replied to messages fast. Highly recommend! Only improvement would be to oil the front door (its very squeaky, normal for an older home). We great appreciated this Victorian home!

Wonderful House

Posted Aug. 24, 2023 on HomeAway
I stayed with 4 of my high school friends for 5 days and had a great time. The house is huge and lots of areas for sitting around and catching up. The house was immaculate and had everything you would need to feel at home. The kitchen was extremely well stocked as were the bathrooms (loved the towels). We were there when it was in the 90s with humidity about 80% and the air conditioning was a life saver. We enjoyed our time there, the host was great and we would recommend and definitely stay there again.
