Here's what a few guests have said:

"Mary’s place is beautifully updated, impeccably clean and ready for your group, especially if you have kiddos. She thoughtfully provides step stools in the bathrooms and even bath toys. It was a great space for our family to gather. Mary always responded promptly and we felt well cared for. Would stay there again and would highly recommend to others." -Curt

☆☆ BEDROOMS ☆☆

First Floor (3 Bedrooms)

In the first floor Primary, sink into a Queen bed dressed in crisp white linens. Pull the blackout curtains tight and let the sound machine drown out the world, while the nearby Pack ’n Play ensures your littlest traveler is safe and close at hand.

Just steps away, the Bunk Room offers a cozy Twin-over-Twin retreat where younger children can drift off in a space that feels both adventurous and secure.

For those seeking a quieter corner, The Library transforms into a private nook with its Twin pull-out sofa—an ideal "secret spot" for an older child to curl up with a book before sleep. From the heavy drapes to the plush bedding, every detail is designed for a morning where you wake up feeling truly restored.

Second Floor (3 Bedrooms)

In the 2nd Floor Primary, a sprawling King bed offers a premium escape for parents, complete with a full-size folding crib so you can keep the baby nearby without sacrificing your own space or sleep quality.

Across the hall, the Queen Bedroom provides a serene, comfortable retreat for additional adults or couples.

The true heart of the second floor is the Bunk Room, the "Ultimate Kids Zone." Featuring two sets of Twin-over-Twin bunks, it’s a high-energy space where cousins and siblings can create lasting memories. Whether it's a quiet night in the King suite or a late-night whisper session in the bunk room, the second floor perfectly accommodates the whole family under one roof.
