Katie's home and hospitality are very warm and welcoming. Our family group included three kids, two married couples and one grandmother. The kids never got bored because the house is full of toys and activities. The adults enjoyed cooking and relaxing in a home that was more lived-in and livable than a cold, sterile hotel room.

We booked two weekend nights in July 2015. The weather was very hot and so the rooms with A/C units were the favorites.

Katie advised us before we booked that the house is neither as luxurious nor as clean as full-time listings that appear to be managed by professionals. This fit our group just fine.

Overall, we had a great weekend and Katie did everything she could to make it go smoothly. She is eager to please her guests and earn a good reputation. I offered a few suggestions for minor improvements and maintenance which she took graciously and promised to address. I would not hesitate to book another weekend there.
