Fantastic family weekend

We rented both sides of the duplex and it made for a fabulous family weekend. We had people coming from multiple states and having 6 bedrooms and various living spaces meant we were able to enjoy our time together with less stress. The units are both really nicely decorated with amazing retro decor. We had everything we needed, including lots of games for game nights. Would definitely stay again!

5 adults and 4 kids and we fit perfectly in the house. Loved the little playroom. Our extended family stayed on the other side of the duplex and it was so nice to have easy access to each other.

Such a nice place to stay. So clean. The details of the themed decor add to this property’s charm.

We enjoyed our stay. I really appreciated the detailed instructions posted near the Keurig machine. Also appreciated that the light switches were labeled. Such a charming and deceptively spacious place.
