Weekend Wine Tasting
We loved this charming well appointed home! The location was perfect. We walked to breakfast, dinner and wine tasting. Comfortable beds and living room furniture. No oven, just a large toaster oven, if that’s important to you. Will definitely stay here again!

Would definitely stay again
Great choice for me and my husband and our 2 dogs (not completely fenced but plenty of area for pottying). Would also accommodate another couple nicely. Walk to the main drag, so very convenient.

Wonderful house for two couples with a great location. The only thing you need to do is make the key work on the front and back door.

Door knob in master headroom set screw missing. Had to purchase to fix. Toilet in master bath had no plunger to correct slow flush. No towels to dry dishes in kitchen there is no dishwasher or disposal in sink. No hot pads in kitchen. Other than that accommodations were nice, beds comfortable and furnishings very nice..

Feels secluded but still right in the midst of the fun!
We loved Durst Haus. It is lovely, well appointed, feels like a secluded get away. However, we were a 3 minute walk from down town! The staff was easy to chat with and quick to respond. Highly recommend!
