We had such a great stay at Mandi’s Airbnb in Litchfield. The space was roomy, spotless, and beautifully maintained — exactly as described in the listing. The location was perfect for our needs, and the overall presentation made us feel right at home the moment we arrived. Mandi and her team did an excellent job not only describing the space accurately, but also in keeping it so well-appointed and welcoming. Even though our trip to Litchfield was unexpected, this Airbnb ended up being such a comfortable and enjoyable place to stay. We can easily see ourselves returning here often when visiting family in the area. I highly recommend Mandi and her team to anyone considering a stay in Litchfield — you won’t be disappointed!

My family of 4 booked the Mckinzine for a getaway to see Mammoth caves. The apartment in an historic hotel was beautiful. My kids injoyed having there own cow themed room. The beds and linens were clean and comfortable. The cleanliness of the entire building was top notch. If your in the area for some sightseeing book a room. You will not be disappointed!
