Wonderful cottage in an excellent location, walking distance to shopping, restaurants, and Old Town charm. Clean, bright, friendly. Don't worry about parking. There is a ton of street parking. In fact, your car was the only one parked on the block. We will be back.

About the host

Hosted by John and Linda Hall

Host profile image
We have been married for 50 years. We enjoy traveling and meeting new people. We love hosting and giving our guests a great value in a beautiful location.

Why they chose this property

Our main house is 110 years old. The cottage was built around 1925 and was renovated several times over the years. My son and I renovated the property about 7 years ago and my wife is responsible for all the decor. She does a great job.

What makes this property unique

You will receive a first class place to stay at a price much lower than any hotel. The apartments are clean and well stocked. We are close to so many great places to enjoy your vacation. Our neighborhood is quiet and safe. We know you will enjoy your stay. We look forward to serving you and your family.
