September 2026

These are wonderful units in Buxton. Clean, comfortable and well stocked. Really they are one of the better rentals for the price. They do not have hand soap,liquid dish soap or clothes detergent so bring those. I was disappointed in communication because I called to see if we could get in early (we knew it was vacant for days before our arrival) and they said they would call back and never did. We had to call.
