Key travel amenities include high speed internet, oversized deskspace with computer monitor, Washer/dryer, smart TV, and outdoor picnic area with grill.

October 2026

The place is near a very busy area and intersection so there was a lot of street noise. It is an older home so I felt like it had the old house (musty) smell to it. There was an issue with noise while I was there from some tree maintenance which disturbed my sleep. I disclosed at booking I would be staying here as a medical traveler and would be working nights and sleeping during the day. The rental sent a message but unfortunately about 30 minutes before I was disturbed and I did not see it because I was sleeping. They were very apologetic and responsive and did credit part of my stay due to that. Overall it’s a decent rental if you need something in that area.

Great location right next to the highway. Pictures match what the places looked and felt like. Very safe place to stay. Communication and parking were perfect! Driveway was hard to get into and the bed is very hard. Other than that this place was perfect.
