Clean and Quiet Getaway
We needed a place to stay for a family wedding and this location checked all the boxes! This quiet location was tucked in the middle of town and had much to offer. The house was very clean and spacious, providing ample room for our group. The host ensured we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and was responsive to any questions we had. We highly recommend this rental for anyone looking for a space with plenty of room to unwind.

Thanksgiving in Alexandria
Our stay at this property was great. It was very clean, the bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was fine. The kitchen had everything we needed as far as utensils, dishes and appliances. The toaster didn't work properly, and no dishwasher. But, we probably wouldn't of used the dishwasher anyway. The house is very close to town, we walked to Eldon's. We would rent it again.

Our stay was very nice. The property was well maintained and clean and is located in a quiet neighborhood within a block of a park with a path around it. The owner was responsive and easy to work with. There are plenty of restaurants with a couple miles. I recommend this location.
