Loved this place! Very clean, bed was super comfortable, it was the perfect place to stay after having been on the road for 11 hours!

The Hills Hideaway | Private Entry | Near Downtown

TimRating, 5 stars5 months ago
Nicole’s place was better than the pictures indicated. Very cute decor, exceptionally comfortable, and the easiest unloading we’ve ever experienced in an Airbnb! Couch and bed were also VERY comfortable! The location was very convenient for all that we wanted to do during our weekend. Highly recommend this spot, and we will definitely go back. So glad we found it (and we bet you will be too)

Joshua's Northland Bungalow

Dale JRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Two of us in town for a memorial service and gathering of friends. The place was great-perfect size-two bedrooms worked for us perfectly-cute place. Minor point is a bathroom typical of these little homes, with a toilet literally right next to the tub/shower with only an inch or two to spare on the sides-made for some interesting "negotiating!" But as I said, this is minor. Shower great! Located in a great neighborhood, peaceful, safe to walk, close to a mall and restaurants etc. Be aware there is a basement tenant- took us by surprise but that was because we didn't read the description fully! They were super quiet and we barely knew anyone else was there. Their apartment is separate from the unit. Definitely recommend the place and Josh was quick to respond to any questions we had. Great front porch for sitting and watching the world, lots of windows, good linens and towels, extra blankets, easy on street parking., Keurig, so very quiet-we would rent again in a heartbeat....

Cozy cottage in the woods

PaulRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
This is the ideal spot for a weekend escape. It was exactly what my wife and I needed to unwind and recharge from our hectic lives. The location is incredibly private, peaceful, and nestled within serene, secluded woodlands. Kathleen was excellent at communicating and tailored our stay to make it truly memorable. This place represents the standard that other Airbnbs aim for. The space was immaculate and had everything we needed—and more. We will be back.
