The home is a very welcoming and comfortable. The host provides a nice selection of evening snacks and makes a wonderful breakfast with a large selection of options. The room had everything you'd need and bed was very comfortable as well as adorable too. Love staying here!

Great stay in an well-maintained historic ex-fraternity house! The fresh-made breakfasts were way better than we expected. And the location so close to campus couldn't be beat....just a quick walk to everything!
