Quiet and quaint setting

This charming little home was perfect for us as we were just wanting a quiet and peaceful place to stay for a few days. We loved walking into the downtown area, which is an easy walk from the home, and visiting some of the local shops. Loved visiting the antique store nearby where we found a few small treasures worth buying. We particularly loved the porch swing and spent some time enjoying the front porch. Would definitely consider staying here again.

Wedding Fun!

My husband and I and 2 other couples stayed here for the wedding of a dear friends son at Wildcliff which was just a mile and a half down the road. The reception was held at The Hallow just one block away. We could walk to and from which was awesome! We were the only ones who didn’t have to drive after a night of celebrating! The house was just perfect for us. Old and antiquish so it creaked at night when you walked across the hardwood floors but we loved it. It was so cute and welcoming! We loved sitting on the deck and the closed in back porch visiting. It definitely could use another bathroom since it is a 3 bedroom. Getting 6 adults ready for the wedding went fine but we had to start early to stagger getting us all in. The town doesn’t offer a lot but that was ok for us. There was a diner that some other friends had lunch at that said was good. There’s a coffee shop but we didn’t use it. The general store was closed so no where to even get ice or a toothbrush (that we forgot) but again we made due. We’ve already decided a return girls trip is the making to attend a play in Arrow Rock and a stay in this quaint little house will be a must!
