About this property

Fun, group friendly house close to fair! Sleeps 8

  • Family, group & pet friendly-This place was designed with fun in mind!
    From the twin-size porch swing to the games to the backyard hangout & playset.

    2 blocks from the fair, Aldi’s 2 blocks away, easy to find, 3 miles to downtown, fully stocked kitchen, 4 beds & a couch.

    We personally renovated this for the sole purpose of being an short term rental. Which means we put ALOT of thought into the details and maximizing space as well as opportunities for fun.

    This is a cute space that we created with families/small groups in mind!

    Kids are welcome, pets are welcome. We strive to provide you a place that feels homey, cozy, and cool.

    Guest access
    The entire house and spacious backyard are yours!

    Other things to note
    There is one bedroom (and couch) on the main level. The other 3 beds are downstairs. If this is a problem for you, please don’t book.
