Summary: Wonderful property just far enough away from campus to be a quick Uber but also away from the craziness of gameday weekend.

Summary: In town meeting up with family. The property is a true trip back in time. If you’re of a certain age or have memories of visiting grandparents, you’ll wonder which decade you're currently in. It’s like a living time capsule. Everything was super clean, beds ultra comfy and a great porch for coffee in the morning and a quiet neighborhood to get out and explore. Kelly was very quick responding to questions. Well hopefully be back someday!
