Family wedding get-away

The home is exactly as described. Even with the more modern amenities it retains its classic charm. My only suggestion is to add that this is an upstairs dwelling in the description, in case any visitors have mobility concerns We would definitely recommend!

Second Story Rental

The rental should be listed as a 2 bedroom; the sectional couch is considered the 3rd place to sleep--not the best to sleep on; since a sectional has a tendency to separate when you move around on it. We had 6 adults in the unit. The Unit is spacious--it is the entire upper level of the house. Make sure you can do steps. It was a great location. Didn't spend much time in the house. Great location.
