Although the house (almost like a small cabin) is located in the city just 5 minutes from downtown, it is well hidden behind lots of trees. It gave one the feeling that you were out in the country. We even saw a wild turkey walk right by the front sidewalk. The place is great and is a great fit for a couple and one adult child, or perhaps two small children. I only got to speak to the host via the phone, but she took care of an issue we had as soon as she could. She seemed very friendly. The only issue with the house is the type of air conditioning that is being used. I don't think it will work well during the hot months of the summer, but it is easily correctable. This place would be a great choice for someone who would like to be close to the downtown action, but away from the hustle and bustle.
