Emmy's place was great. the one floor living was perfect for my elderly parents and sister with a walker. The house is very well appointed and we had everything we could possibly need. It was hard to leave because the view is spectacular.

Emmy’s place went beyond our expectations, and the photos cannot show how amazing the view is from nearly every room in the house. Emmy communicated well and gave my family many suggestions about where to eat and things to do. Thank you so much for letting us stay!

Our host Emmy was very attentive to our family’s needs. We had a relaxing time as we prepared to attend my father’s memorial service. Everyone slept well and we greatly enjoyed the view. It was a special time we will all remember.

This place was the best, Emmy is great! The view from the living room and the deck were spectacular! The house was beautiful and huge! I can’t say anything negative about the place, it was everything we needed and we had 7 people. I could stare out that window for hours and be totally happy. WOW!!

I had a truly wonderful stay at Emmy’s! The place was spotless and incredibly comfortable — it felt like a home away from home. One of the highlights was the beautiful view, which we enjoyed every morning with a cup of coffee. The location is perfect, right next to an amazing park that’s great for peaceful walks or just relaxing outdoors. Everything about this stay was smooth and enjoyable, from check-in to check-out. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing, clean, and well-located place to stay!

Such a lovely stay! We will be back for sure! Great relaxing place. She thought about everything! Coffee bar was outstanding w actually good coffee! We had to work remote while there and we took turns using the downstairs for our “conference room”! Became a running joke. Had huge family dinner and game night. It was prefect! Thank you so much for a much needed great family time!

We were in town to celebrate a graduation from UPS. This home checked all the boxes for us. Location. The peace and quiet. 4 bedrooms on a single floor helped with my 93 year old mom. The view is incredible. We could not have had a better experience than with Emmy. Completely responsive and a beautiful property and neighborhood.

What a lovely home it was clean, bright cherry, and so functionable the view out the window in the living room and off the porch was just breathtaking. You could enjoy two or 3 cups of coffee each morning and be in your own little heaven.

We just recently stayed at Emmy’s place and I have to say, if you ever want to come to this area, this is the place to stay! The house was very clean and had such a cool layout! The view was my absolute favorite part! Waking up to that each day was phenomenal! Emmy was a wonderful host and was always quick in responding to my questions! Tanishia 💜

This was my first Airbnb experience and Emmy by far set the standard for my future stays. As a frequent traveler, including international travels, my expectations were surpassed tremendously. Emmy’s place is beautiful, extremely clean, and spacious. My family’s transition into this delightful place was memorable and I couldn’t ask for more. The attention to detail in every room made us feel instantly at ease, and it truly felt like a home away from home. To keep things in perspective, I am a native Pacific islander and the location was great, close to local attractions yet tucked away enough to offer a peaceful retreat for me and my family. The amenities provided were thoughtful and of high quality, further enhancing our experience. Most of all, her responsiveness to my inquiries were answered timely and with no ambiguity. I would definitely stay here again! Thank you Emmy
