We were so very pleased with everything. Our stay was for our daughters wedding, just a 10 min. drive away. We felt so blessed to have found this little hide away. Peaceful, quiet and beautiful surroundings. Even though it was raining, we had a great time. clouds parted right before the ceremony and God provided a double rainbow! A lovely place and lovely hosts. We will stay again

Amazing space in every way. This Airbnb has it all. Luxury amenities everywhere you look, every drawer you open, nothing has been overlooked. From the layout and decor to the luxury bath towels, comfy bed linens and pillows, hi-tech temperature controls, spacious kitchen, multi-layered TV options, etc., you will feel like you’re in a upscale hotel suite at every turn. And the price is kinda unbelievable in terms of value you get. Lots of great restaurants and shopping nearby. Smooth, quick, and friendly communication from Paul and Liz. If you get a chance, read about the interesting and compelling history of the property in their online guestbook. This is an absolute gem in this area if you’re able to snag it.

We stayed at Liz’s place for just one night and it was one of the best Airbnb stays I’ve ever had! We had an easy time getting to and into the unit, her instructions were super clear. After arriving we walked straight over to see the horses on their property and I had fun feeding them carrots. We decided to explore the property (which we were welcomed to do) and hiked around the hilly area amidst the trees, it was really beautiful! The place itself was exactly how it looked in the photos…maybe better! It is one of the most tastefully decorated and fully stocked Airbnb’s I’ve ever stayed at. She thought of everything and had labels on everything so it was easy to find what was needed. The cal king bed was extremely comfy and they had ample pillows…that was so appreciated. The tv and a/c were easy to use and it’s all very up to date tech. Liz was very responsive if I had questions. The unit was private and away from the main house, it was just perfect for a quick night away from home!

I have stayed in several air BNB sites. This was BY FAR the best provisioned of all. Spice rack, kitchen equipment (including slow cooker and ninja smoothie maker in the kitchen. Band aids and bug spray in the bathroom. I could go on and on. The apartment is modern and spacious. Great for an extended stay. You do have to go outside to enjoy the view—high windows are god For security I suppose. Horses are sweet. Amazing that this is in the middle of a city
