Everything was perfect and our host was extremely helpful. Took our kids & grandkids, it felt like home away from home. Thank you!

This was a very well laid out space for our large family! With two first floor ensuites, 2 kitchens, multiple living spaces and plenty of seating indoors and out, we were very comfortable and had room to spare. We did a lot of cooking, and the kitchen was well-equipped. If you need something very specific, such as a rasp or muffins pans or your favorite cast iron pan, I'd suggest hauling it in. But it was one of the best-appointed kitchens I've had at an airBnB. The host even made sure we had what we needed when something unexpected occured. The firepit area was amazing, and the kids had fun with the games. The house was clean, the bedding was fantastic, and TVs and wifi were top notch. Quiet and woodsy, with conveniences not far away, we would definitely stay again!

We decided to host our first annual fall getaway at the HouseofAgapi. We are a group of 5 couples who have been friends spanning 4-5 decades. The house provided enough space for all. If the weather had been better, we would’ve been able to take advantage of the outdoor space. We did have some issues with the kitchen appliances but Jacob did show up to try to resolve everything. Although all the issues were not resolved, we did appreciate the effort.

Great stay and no issues with the rental. Jacob was very helpful with instructions for checking in/out. Would definitely recommend this property to others looking to stay in this area!
