Anniversary weekend

My husband and I stayed for our anniversary weekend and had the most incredible time. The house is absolutely stunning. It was like a piece of art with the most incredible views. It has such a modern retro vibe and we just loved everything about it. The hosts left us a very lovely gift basket and some wine. Any and every question we had was met with a very quick response. We would most def stay here again. I have never seen a property like it. Once again I have to say just how beautiful it is. Thank you so much for a lovely weekend.

Just wonderful!

We had the best time at this beautiful, charming gem of a property, conveniently located but that feels so private. Cooked together (well stocked kitchen), shared meals, beautiful gathering areas, gorgeous peaceful places for rest (comfortable bedrooms, lovely clean bathrooms). It made for such a special, memorable occasion. Host was incredibly responsive, warm, and helpful. Cleaning lady was kind and patient. We feel very lucky to have had the chance to stay at this special place, right before it was listed on the registry of historic sites! We all wanted to stay longer. Thank you!
