Everything was great! There was more than enough space for 9 adults to stay for a few days and everything was very clean. We would all stay here again!
House was lovely. Super charming. Only note is that it is not handicap accessible. The bedrooms are all upstairs and the rooms on the main level are step up/ step down... plus stairs to get into all doors from outside. The beautiful claw foot tubs/ showers are also very high for older folks. If you have no one in your party needing accommodations, very highly recommend. The rooms are gorgeous, plenty of space. We had teens to octagenarians in our party and all had a great time.

I'm so glad you chose the house and all your family could enjoy. Hope wedding went well and you created lots of fabulous memories 🤗
This house was the PERFECT spot for spending the weekend with friends after proposing to my fiancé. The house was far bigger than I expected, and everything was beautifully maintained. The host went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we could need, and was very quick with responding to messages. Unforgettable memory in the books!
