We had a delightful stay at 409 Union Street! This place is so charming with 4 bedrooms, very comfortable beds, modern kitchen and spacious dining room. The sitting rooms were quaint, with lots of books, art and period ephemera. Loved the back porch and yard. The town of Milton is charming and I only wish we’d had more time!! Blake was a friendly and responsive host. Absolutely one of my favorite Airbnb stays!!

This historical, quaint and roomy home met all of our expectations. My family and I felt so fortunate to have found it. It provided a warm, comfortable and welcoming environment with plenty of amenities. The front porch with swing (a plus) was so enjoyable. It was so peaceful to walk to downtown. The owner was very responsive and accommodating. We thank you.
