The fully fenced backyard is the perfect space to let your dogs roam, play a game of catch, or make a fire in the five-foot fire pit.

The house was super clean, had a great time celebrating my birthday with family and friends, communication with host was really awesome, helped me to book the reservation in any way possible, I would really recommend this place to everyone who wants to spend some time in a beautiful house with their friends and family.
Great location for a little weekend stay with our friends and family! Walkable to all the local attractions and shops nearby. Home was clean and very comfortable - highly recommended for any large groups or families!
We love this house! This is our second time staying and it's perfect for our weekend trip. The house is very comfortable and has everything we need. Close to downtown and plenty of parking. We'll definitely stay again
The property was perfect for our multi family reunion. Our grandkids loved the toys and back yard. The house was fully stocked, we lacked for nothing. Host was amazing. We walked to square for farmers market. Life was so so good!
This house was amazing! We especially loved the open vintage Victorian feel of the home. All rooms were exactly like described in the listing with plenty of towels, blankets, soaps etc. Also, Very Very Clean. The kitchen was very nicely stocked for any type of cooking your desire, lots of pots, pans, coffee maker - loved the espresso machine. Nicely furnished soaps, paper towels, toilet paper & laundry area, Bathrooms & Bedrooms were beautiful, tons of room. Our Host was very easy to get ahold of and communicating was easy & great. WE LOVED THIS PLACE - Thank you Deirdre for an amazing stay in your home. We will definitely book again someday when we return to Woodstock.
We had a large family gathering at a different Vrbo that didn’t work out so we had to scramble looking for another one and Deirdre came to the rescue! The house and location couldn’t have been any better for the kids! The house is so charming with antique touches and modern updates. Would highly recommend!!!
The house had everything we needed. The backyard was great for the dog. The bathrooms were so modern. And bonus: two of them have bidets!Also an extremely interesting collection of Monopoly games. Easy walk to downtown and the train.
Very nice home with lots of room for large groups. We especially enjoyed the backyard, including the pool and lawn games! The downstairs TV room is really nice too, and perfect for a movie night in! When we had some issues adjusting the air conditioning, the host was very responsive and helpful. Highly recommend!
stayed overnight with my college sketch comedy club and I was worried some hosts would be apprehensive about that (understandably so) but Deirdre was so kind and accomodating! the home was gorgeous and perfect for our yearly retreat, everyone had so much fun in Woodstock.
