May 2023

We truly enjoyed our stay here. What a unique place. Perfect location in town. Our kids enjoyed being right next to the park. We enjoyed being a block off main. VERY spacious. Lots of room for all the vacation stuff you bring. Kitchen and dining area will please you. Living room acoustics were exceptional. Our evening guitar strumming and singing sounded great. What a neat place. The host across the street was very friendly and accommodating. This is a historic property. So don't expect everything to be new and perfect. A little more furniture would be nice. But, it didn't hinder us at all. We have already booked our 2024 vacation here. The wife and kids are excited to return.
