We had a great stay, easy location to get into and out of, and close to amenities downtown and on the main drag. The house itself was unique and charming, way better than a hotel!

Thank you so much for your review, you were great guests. Please keep us on your travel plans for the future. The house is over 130 years old, and we have tried to keep the character of a 1870 home with some modern additions. The air hockey table adds fun on a rainy day.

This charming home is comfy and cozy, while still quite spacious. Owners are very friendly and helpful, and handled questions promptly. The convenience of being close to downtown was great, and we could easily walk to shops in the area.

This is a beautiful property. They have done a lovely job of preserving the history and modernizing it all at the same time. Anne and Harley made everything very easy and were willing to work with us when there was bad weather. We greatly enjoyed our stay and look forward to our next visit!! Thank you.

Quaint Historic Home

We loved staying in this old historic home and learning about the history of it. Everything was as listed under the description. It was beautiful and very comfortable! We could walk to the downtown area for restaurants and coffee shops!

History preserved

This lovely 1870s home has been masterfully preserved and I was even able to hear quite a bit about the homes history which is so much fun! The house is spacious offering all the comforts necessary to really rest and relax but also 23 minutes from The shrine of the Grotto of the redemption if you're looking for adventure. The hosts were some of the kindest folks, most accommodating!

Thank you Jennifer for your lovely review. The Grotto of the Redemption is the largest man-made grotto in the world and is a short drive from this vacation house. We love hosting guests and making their visit special.
