The stay was perfect for us. The host was very nice and welcoming and gave us good advice about our day plans, restaurants, trout fishing and just good conversation. The fresh complementary eggs were a nice bonus:) The Barn had plenty of space for the 4 of us and we all enjoyed the simplicity of it.

I really liked how charming and historic the town was- don’t miss the prohibition bar down the street! The place felt like it was going back in time. The accommodations were very roomy and the backyard was amazing with a great deck view. The hosts were friendly and gave us fun facts and tips.
