What a fantastic house!!! The history of the house alone was worth the stay. We came up to see our kids which we do often and usually just grab a hotel but we wanted to have the kids come over and be comfortable and wanted to include our dog in the trip.John was quick to respond to questions I had prior to the stay which was helpful in planning.The house was clean, had everything you need for a stay not to mention beds were comfortable!!! The house was actually bigger than what we thought it was going to be and we will keep this one on the top of the list for our future visits. Close enough to downtown that you can definitely walk in 10 minutes, and Lowell observatory is less than a 5 minute drive.I appreciate John and his wife opening their house up and sharing the history not only in words but pictures and items from the past.I was so impressed I took a video and sent it to friends letting them know if they need a place to stay I found a gem.
