  Nice property, including delish coffee pods. Nice towels were a plus. Only wish there was a full size fridge and maybe some cooking utensils. It was great to be right next door to pickleball courts and the Mexican restaurant across the street.

  We were in town for my daughter’s graduation and this place couldn’t have been more perfect for us! We had to bring our elderly dog At the last minute and they are so accommodating of dogs—even lent us an extra dog bed for our dogs comfort! The washing machine is amazing too! Just everything was lovely! Thank you! And we highly recommend this place.

  From the owner: Stacy, David, and family: you couldn’t have been more perfect guests! Everyone was so incredibly polite, clean, and friendly. We loved having your dog Duchess stay as well. Our pup also really missed her when you guys left! We would gladly welcome all of you back if you happen to be in the area in the future. We are so glad you enjoyed every bit of your stay! -Samir & Braden

  The problem was the beds. My husband and I tried sleeping in one room. The bed was so hard we were tossing and turning trying to get comfortable. I ended up on the couch. He ended up with a sore shoulder. He also tried the other bed and it was the same. The mattress sits directly on a wire, mesh frame. There is no box spring. We left a day early because of the beds.

  I had travelled to Newton to celebrate my mother's 100 birthday. Location was great and easy to find, check in was easy, property was as lovely as advertised. I dropped off luggage and met with some friends and family. Returned later, watched 30 minutes of TV (also easy to manage), turned the heat down, and went to bed. Just about asleep and a banging noise seemed to come from the back. I got up to but could see nothing. Just about asleep again and a loud crashing noise seemed from the front - like someone was banging on the door or window. Again nothing - but upsetting. Through the night I eventually discovered that each time the furnace came on the banging noise (like a cover opening) and each time it went off the crashing noise - all night long. Needless to say a very restless and nearly sleepless night. I was too wired to try to sleep there again so I packed up and left early. I watched TV for 40 minutes and slept in a bed. Never used a towel, never even turned the water on in the kitchen. I hope this was unknown to the property owner and can be fixed. With the exception of this unfortunate situation the property was lovely and the experience with VRBO was completely satisfactory.

  From the owner: Hi Dennis, I am sorry for your experience. As one of the owners, I will frequently stay in this property all weekend long for class when there are no bookings. I have stayed in there for two full class weekends since your stay and have never once heard a banging noise from the heater.
  
  However, the city did hang two large plywood boards on the tennis court fence, which directly face the property. I have noticed that when people hit tennis balls off the boards, it will reverberate off the east wall of the property. That does make some significant banging noises similar to what you described.
  
  Again, I do apologize for the noise nuisance that this created. We do all we can to make the best possible stay, and we look forward to this property hosting many satisfied guests.
