This home suited our family's needs for our long weekend stay, though I wouldn't necessarily say it's family-friendly if you have kids under 10. The updates were nice and the home is spacious and clean. It was close to downtown, which was nice. I think the listing for five bedrooms is a bit misleading given the attic "bedroom" doesn't have a door (just a doorway) separating it from the other beds in the attic. Also, the gate at the top of the second floor had pieces falling out of it, which made it unsafe and unusable for our kiddos. The entrance to the basement (which isn't part of the space to use) is in a very open spot in the front living room. It felt unsafe since there was no gate/blockade that you could put there. Kids aside, a slightly clumsy adult could fall down those stairs pretty easily. Overall, it was fine for what we needed but I'm not sure I'd recommend it.

Look carefully at bedrooms before booking. The attic came as a surprise for us, as one room has no door and requires others pass through your space. Comfortable place overall with great location. Would stay again in this lovely home.

We had a large family group and there was plenty of space for all of us to feel comfortable. We were traveling with small children so a gate on the main level stairs and staircase near the entry door would have been helpful, but we made it work. Mark was very responsive and we enjoyed our short stay.
