Charming House
The house is meticulously clean. It has plenty of charming touches and interesting decor. It offered comfortable sleeping spaces for us and our two teenage sons. We had planned to watch some college football, but the house isn’t equipped with a regular tv service and we struggled to find a way to stream with our own subscriptions. Not a complaint, just something to consider when booking. There are probably plenty of places nearby to catch a game. It is in a very loud area, which is generally disclosed in the host’s description of the home. Revving cars, two separate emergency vehicle incidents and Sunday morning church bells made sleep elusive in the master bedroom. But our son who slept in the bedroom at the back of the house said he was not disturbed by any of it. I wouldn’t deter anyone from staying here as long as a restful stay isn’t the priority. It’s a lovely house in a very convenient location if going out on the town is the main attraction.

Siblings Getaway
We chose Appleton as a place to gather and do a siblings weekend. The house was beautifully decorated, organized, clean, and stocked with all the essentials. The fact we were able to pretty much park my car when we arrived and not use it again was huge! Downtown is literallt a 5 minute walk and everything you would need is there. We did the farmer's market on Saturday morning and that was fun to explore also! If we are ever in this area again we definitely will be looking to see if this rental is available! Thanks for the great hospitality and letting us make some amazing memories!

We really enjoyed the home and the location. There were restaurants we could easily walk to. Keri was very helpful in providing help as far as places to visit. You can tell Keri put small little touches into the home to make our trip that much more enjoyable.

What a pleasant surprise to walk into this beautiful home! From the gorgeous hardwood floors, to the stunning quilts on every bed, this well appointed home did not disappoint.. Although the Watergate Hotel bed is special, a queen bed would have been nice..

Everything was amazing! The host even had a Christmas tree and Christmas lights up. An unexpected touch. The house was listed as four bedrooms though and there were only 3. One email said check in was 4 and another said 3. Just minor corrections.

Would totally do again!
We really loved the house. Everything about it was great, it was plenty of space for everybody and it was close enough to downtown. Also very close to where we actually live in case we need to run back home for anything or to feed our cats. We would definitely rent again! Keri was so easy to talk to and super helpful! 100/10!
