We had a great time at the house, basement was cozy when we needed to wind down at night- and the room darkening shades helped everyone sleep in. The kitchen was perfectly outfitted to feed our crew and make sure we were all fueled for the hockey weekend.

We had an amazing New Year’s getaway and couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. The home was spotless, beautifully decorated and had everything we needed to feel comfortable and relaxed (including all the children amenities). It was the perfect space to unwind and ring in the New Year. Our host was incredibly responsive and thoughtful, making check-in and the entire stay seamless. You can truly tell how much care they put into hosting. We made such special memories here and would absolutely recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a cozy, stress-free getaway. We’d love to return again in the future!

10/10. This was one of the best homes we've ever stayed in on Airbnb. Carrie was the perfect host. The pictures on the don't do the home any justice. So beautiful, so modern, so much like home. Perfect stay. Will we be back in the warmer months ahead. Thanks so much
