"Our visit was cursed by unforeseen amounts of torrential rain the second day. The basement completely flooded and our friends staying in the basement had to evacuate to a hotel.

"My husband and I stayed at this property all of August 2023, and it was perfect for us. It's only half a mile from the state capitol, and you can see if from the porch - a beautiful view, especially at night. Chris took care of all our needs, and we were comfortable and had all we needed. Highly recommended if you like to be right in the middle of all the action - the lake, great bars, downtown square, grocery store, and just a quick bike ride to the university campus. Would book this property...

"This was one of my favorite stays ever! We had a private entrance and the whole place to ourselves, and it was a very good bargain for this time of year… walking distance from the capital and the farmers market.
