“I stayed here for 8 weeks while working at the local hospital. It had everything I needed and more. Jessica was quick to respond and even anticipated our needs prior to starting the rental. Would recommend again for a reasonable price!”
“I stayed here for 8 weeks while on a rotation at the hospital, and had a great experience! The house is furnished and stocked with anything you would need — cooking supplies, coffee machines, bedding with extra pillows and blankets, a grill, easy to use appliances, reliable AC, etc. I felt comfortable, safe, and relaxed staying here, and would 10/10 recommend for other students or small families.”
“Jessica and David anticipated every need and were never more than a text or phone call away. I was super impressed by how well-stocked everything was! Everything had been thought of, and the hosts were so approachable. 10/10 experience!”

“Communication was great. Beautiful property and house. Will stay again if working in this area in the future.”
