I stayed in two Lavabelles houses over the summer and really enjoyed my stay. You can’t beat the location of the Lavabelles houses. For an affordable price, I stayed in an enviable location that allowed me to walk everywhere—to the river, Old Mill, restaurants, downtown, and breweries—and have my dog with me.

Much of my family stayed at other lavabelles so we were able to walk and see everyone. All of our loved ones enjoyed all the lavabelles had to offer. We will always use them when we...
