We loved our stay at the Elm House. It really felt like a home away from home. The hosts thought of everything and communication with them was excellent. The town of Troy was so welcoming as well. I hope we can visit again.

A great older place to stay for several days in a small town setting. We have a small dog that enjoyed the walks in the neighborhood. The TV viewing room was a highlight with comfortable recliners and a big screen television with lots of shows to watch. There was a washer & dryer if you needed to wash clothes. Overall, a comfortable place to stay. Hope to stay there again!
