Twelve reviews. One word keeps coming up: clean.

One of the nicest Airbnbs I have stayed in. Very clean and comfortable. Lisa’s communication was excellent. Will stay here every time I’m in the area if it is available.

Excellent space for our family of 5. As advertised, brand new. The yard was great for our pups. Loved the extra touch of the eye masks in the bathroom.
