Peaceful Getaway in a Quaint Town

We had such a great stay here a couple weekends ago. The place was spotless, had everything we needed, and the setting was just beautiful and peaceful. Loved the landscaping and quiet surroundings. The little town was so quaint — we really enjoyed grabbing coffee at Wiggins and taking walks around the Kenyon campus. There were plenty of activities to keep us busy, including the game room, bicycle riding, and walking the trails. Would definitely recommend for a relaxing getaway.
