Our home caters to both short term and medium term stays, making it an excellent choice for corporate housing needs. Whether you find yourself temporarily displaced from your home or require accomodations for your team during an extended project in our area, we provide a welcoming and comfortable "home away from home" experience.
You’ll truly be able to relax in the coziness of this bungalow home. As charming and functional on the outside as the inside, there is a beautiful front lawn and covered parking for 2 cars. The newly renovated home features gorgeous flooring all throughout and a bright, open-concept layout. It features stylish neutral colors, beautiful furniture, and professional level interior design.
You’ll have plenty of room for a large group to sleep in the 4 bedrooms.

The perfect place to gather as a group will be in the large open concept living area.
