Granddaughter's Wedding
Everything was great but we didn't expect the stairs to be as challenging as they were. I'm 79 and my wife is 75. You might say don't go upstairs, but that's where the best bed and shower happens to be. Other than that, we couldn't ask for a better situation.

A perfect place
We stayed at Valerie’s place as a base for a small family reunion and introduction of one family member to Jacksonville. The space was perfect and very well appointed, very clean. Lots of room and comfortable furniture to spread to. We cooked and grilled, it was perfect. Beds and bedding are quite comfortable. Plenty of towels for showers. The location was great too. Close to MacMurray campus for a park like view and just steps from the Square for easy access to coffee shops, shopping, restaurant and bars. I will definitely try to stay here again when I come back to Jacksonville.

A diamond in the rough
The house was just what we needed. A quiet location for the babeis to sleep while the rest of the family prepared for and celebrated a wedding.
Thanks for cute decorations and cleanliness to help us all feel comfortable.
Location to The Square was also very convenient for celebrating.

Perfect
The house was perfect for us. Love all the decorating and little touches. Such a charming older home. Had everything we needed. Will definitely recommend and rent again. Our family actually knew/knows the original owners of the house. Maybe remove the concrete border next to driveway, makes for a tight drive getting out of.

Family Christmas
We were visiting family for an "Old Fashioned Christmas" from the West Coast. The property was clean and cute, the host took time to put out some festive decor. We had one minor issue, but the host was very quick to communicate and offer to resolve the issue. Would definitely recommend this property.

My Old Home
I can't say enough good things about this place. It was spotless, it was well furnished, and it had everything we needed for a great stay.
I actually lived in this house as a kid in the 60s and early 70s. So much is different and so much is the same! I love that someone is taking such good care of it. My friends and I enjoyed recalling all the crazy times we had there and hopefully, we will be able to go back soon.

Felt like home away from home
My sister's agree, this felt like we all came home to moms house. It was so warm and comforting.
