Summary: This bungalow is perfection—pristinely clean and adorablly decorated. After a long drive day my dogs ran and played in the secure large well kept yard a long time. It was wonderful for all of us. Aly is quickly responsive and gracious. Highly recommend!

Summary: I loved this place! It was so cute, cozy and clean. The extra touches with the personalized greeting card and basket for the pups were much appreciated. They also had a blast running around the yard and I felt at ease with the fence being secure to keep them from roaming. I did not use the game room but could see how kids would love it. Thanks to Aly for sharing your home. I hope to be back soon!

Summary: We had an amazing stay at the State Fair Bungalow. It was a great place for our family of 6! The decorations are perfect for it's name and location. It was clean and well supplied with all the basic items we needed and a washer and dryer, which was an added bonus! It had so many little touches added to it that made it even better. The backyard is beautiful and the game shed was a favorite of the kids. Aly was great at communicating with us and was a great hostess, even though we never saw each other. I would highly recommend this place!
