This property was probably the most fun property we've stayed in. Our family had a blast with all of the games, puzzles and other accomodations. Everything was so well stocked and we had everything we needed and more! The beds were comfortable towels galore and the place was super clean. The Town hall has a lot of history and Julie has done a great job of preserving pieces of it! Julie was responsive and a pleasure to work with. We are already planning our next trip! Thanks so much!

Amazing old building. So much space and fun stuff for kids. Was the perfect winter staycation for our group. Not the type of place that you can expect to be 'pristine' but clean enough and so fun and interesting. Better than the pictures. We'll be back!

Great place for family gathering

This place had everything we needed! Host was very helpful in setting up extra tables and making sure all was ready to go when we arrived! Has an elevator and our 98 y/o grandma could get to the house no problem! Lots of toys to play with. Lots of things to keep teens organzied, Well stocked kitchen. Could use some gates for the stairs and catwalk if you have littles. Overall a great stay!

Wonderful, unique and fun property.

We had a girls trip and stayed at this unique property. It was exactly as described. Very roomy, tons of beds, plenty of seating for everyone and room to spread out. They had lots of games to keep us all busy. The house was very well stocked and there wasn't anything we needed that the host hadn't already supplied. Thank you Julie for letting us experience the town hall.

Happy Easter!

Our family had so much fun spending Easter weekend here. We had stayed at the Old Town Hall last year and the grandkids were begging to go back. We all enjoy riding around on scooters and playing games. The kitchen is a nice size for several "cooks". We enjoyed meals together and time together to talk and play. We had an easter egg and beer hunt and there were many places to hide the eggs. A great weekend in a nice place.
