— John (Atlanta) January 2026“Such a beautiful property. Great location. Secluded & private, yet within walking distance of the centre of town. Our host was very informative, which made it easy for us to find and to get into. Will definitely book again if we are ever back in the area.”

— Kim (Australia) Nov 2025“From the very first moment, we felt incredibly comfortable in Sarah's house, and after a week, we were very sad that we had to move on. Everything was new, well-maintained, spotlessly clean, and there was plenty of everything, so we happily used the kitchen and grill every day. All in all, 100% highly recommended, without reservation.”

— Reeti (NZ) January 2026“You can feel in everything in this house that it is of high quality. Not only the incredibly spacious layout, but also the details. Floor lamp by the door, clean hanging lamps, plenty of kitchen utensils and soaps, detergent and dishwasher tablets. You can see that attention is paid to comfort of living and you can feel that when you are here. You're coming home. We would love to have this house at home too.”
