Spacious family home

This house worked very well for our family weekend. Dining area had a large table that easily accommodated our group of 8 adults. Kitchen was well stocked and we had what we needed to cook some great meals. Beds were very comfortable which allowed for a good nights sleep. Great set up in the living area so we could all gather there and be comfortable. House was very clean and we had plenty of parking.

Why they chose this property

We love historic homes and this one is a gem! It is a reputed stop on the underground railroad and both the the indoor and outdoor common areas allow large groups to have some space to relax with a book or gather together. Stylish and updated.

What makes this property unique

House is very spacious and sits on 9 acres of land, mostly wooded. Limited neighbors allow large groups to just enjoy each other and themselves without disturbing anyone. I come from a very large family and we can get pretty loud just talking, not to mention the music. No worries about that here.

Wildlife also frequent the back and side yards
