This was our second time staying at this property and it somehow continues to exceed our expectations! The host has great communication and is very friendly! The space is beautiful and a perfect location! Our favorite part is the surrounding area and the local recommendations the host gave us. If you are looking for a great community to stay in, this is it!

We had a great girls weekend in Cumming! The house was perfect for us and it looked exactly like the pictures. The host was quick to respond if we needed anything and we loved the suggestions she made for things to do in town. Thank you for an amazing stay!

We traveled for our son's wedding and Kalen's property worked perfect for us! The location is very convenient as it wasn't too far off the interstate. The house is beautiful, spacious and very clean. We had 3 couples and a toddler; everyone had plenty of space. It was exactly as pictured and described. It was nice to be able to park a couple of vehicles in the garage. Easy check in/out process. It is located next to a busy road so the traffic can be a bit noisy at times. Highly recommend and we definitely would stay again if in the area. Kalen was a great host and her and her team were very responsive. Thank you!
