Girls getaway
Check in went well with great host communication. Furniture in the home is worn. Bathroom rugs are dirty and couch fabric is worn. The exterior door did not lock and when we notified the host they stated it wasn’t set to lock. All of the windows were unlocked and a few were left open when we arrived. With temps low 30s you can imagine how cold it was in the home after the first night. The rainfall shower head in the basement was the talk of the weekend. It was fabulous. Location was amazing as we could run/ walk to trails easily. A few other hiccups occurred while in the home, host was notified and fixed right away. The home still had alot of new purchase stickers, shipping packaging on cabinets, decor still in purchase packaging. Floor was extremely creaky. A few others in our party appreciated the soap and soda pops in the fridge. Property would be a great long term rental as well. Thanks for having us.

Cute, clean, spacious, fabulous location, awesome host....
Adult review: Highly recommend! The home is spacious, has comfortable beds, fun games to play, a well stocked kitchen, clean, and is in a great location! The hosts were responsive and we would definitely stay here again! Teen review (4 girls): The ping pong table is totally fire! The layout was perfect for us to have our "apartment" of sorts downstairs. So many games and other things provided.

Great/Clean House in Quiet Area
This was our first time staying at a Vrbo rental so was a little nervous & apprehensive about it but am happy to say I was very happy with the Chelsea Blue House. Every thing was very clean - especially the bathrooms. Lots of space to spread out & in a very quiet neighborhood which we love. We would highly recommend staying here!

This is our 2nd time staying here and will again if we need to be back in the area. The beds are comfortable, the bathrooms are clean, the kitchen is well stocked. There is a beautiful fire pit and a comfy sunroom. Just a lovely property exactly where we needed it for being near the veterinarian school. The hosts are very nice and helpful. Thanks for another great stay.

Cozy with Character
We had a small quiet gathering here for my friend’s bachelorette. It was the perfect place for a fun night to watch bridal movies, eat snacks and chat. The place was very well updated and decorated and had a lot of character and charm. The owners were also accommodating of the non-shedding service dog one of our guests had to bring for medical reasons. Plenty of parking on the street. Great location with lots of restaurants/activities nearby to enjoy! Would visit this home again.

Charming property!
Fantastic property in a quiet neighborhood. It’s clear they’ve done and are doing a lot to improve the property. They just finished the screened in porch, which was a nice surprise when we arrived and weren’t expecting. Upstairs master is very large. They also fully stocked the pantry and fridge (for charge).
