We loved staying at the Crew House! It was the perfect space for my little family. Full kitchen, lovely screened in dining area and so close to town yet private. Highly recommend!

Great place to stay while visiting relatives in the area. Charla and Harrison’s place was well located to restaurants and the mall but felt very much in the country. Spotlessly clean and well equipped. The ping pong table and rowing machine were a bonus. Very helpful that the cottage was equipped with a pack and play and infant booster seat. Would certainly stay here again when in the area. Thanks for your hospitality!

This place was incredible. It's close to everything, while also feeling secluded and private. It's honestly the perfect place in and around this area to feel right at home. The hosts did a wonderful job of preparing the place and giving us clear instructions. It felt like a home away from home, which is exactly what we were looking for with a family of 3 (including a newborn). One of the best places we've stayed on AirBnB

Wonderful Airbnb, it was one of our favorite Airbnbs we have stayed at so far! We loved how close it was to the mall but also it was very private. The Airbnb had a modern look to it and everything was cozy. Great coffee machine and hot tub! Also great sitting place outside. Very peaceful. We can't wait to come back!
