We had another wonderful stay at the Explorer house! Gabrielle is the best host! So kind and so responsive. The house is very well equipped, supplied, and set up. She thinks of all the little things that are so helpful when traveling, from the dog beds, to very well placed night lights, labeled light switches, and cupboards so you know where things are and where they go. The house is nice, very clean, and the fenced back yard is amazing! We love to stay here.

This house was a perfect place to stay. The home was very clean and had everything we needed, and the fenced backyard was great for our two dogs. Gabrielle is a great host and was very responsive! I would definitely recommend staying here if you are in the area!

This place is truely a gem. The house was perfect, nice small fenced yard for the dogs and very thoughtful touches, from providing dog beds to proactive communication.
The house has a great open feeling and had everything we needed. Plenty of room to move around and such great touches and mindful choices in and around the house.

This was a lovely house- just as nice as the photos and the backyard was wonderful for dogs. The pictures don so it justice. I loved my stay and felt so at home and comfortable.

We had a wonderful stay with our dogs. The space was exactly what we needed for our stay. We especially enjoyed the Harry Potter theme! Communication with the host was top notch, with clear instructions for our stay and speedy reply. Highly recommend and we would absolutely stay here again!

This is our second stay with the host. There are multiple properties available and the are all creatively themed around the host favorite authors. We stayed in the Harry Potter house this time. We will definitely stay again when in there area!

We booked this house which was close to my son’s home to have a home away from home so we could spend thanksgiving with my family all in one place. It absolutely lived up it. The kitchen had everything we needed. I also loved that all the rooms had king beds. When looking for a place to host multiple couples, the king beds are originally what made me select this house over others in the area. Can’t have a couple sleeping in bunk beds!
I’m so glad we chose this home! We created wonderful memories with my grown kids and my parents all together this year.

We enjoyed our stay at the mystery house. The house is beautifully decorated and comfortable. Huge back yard for the dogs to enjoy. We had a great time searching for the treasure with our son… such a fun surprise! Gabrielle was incredibly responsive and super friendly. Our family will definitely stay at this property again.

Loved the house and all the cute accessories! The scavenger hunt was so fun for my daughter. The beds are very comfortable, the house is very clean and we really enjoyed our stay! Will definitely book again if in the area for softball!

Amazing stay! Gabrielle was extremely responsive and friendly. House was spotless upon arrival, with very clear instructions about who to contact if any issues arose and what to do before leaving. There are a lot of houses in the neighborhood, but we never heard a peep from anyone. Once you walk in the house and close the door you would never know that there are any neighbors around you. I felt very safe. Wonderful fenced in backyard. Well equipped kitchen. Felt just like being at home. Small details can make or break a location, and Gabrielle has tried to hit on all those small details to make you feel right at home. Gabrielle and I, discovered we shared a mutual love of books and she thoughtfully made sure there were books there from one of my favorite authors. Since we are in the area several times a year visiting family, we definitely hope to be able to stay with Gabrielle again in the future.
