The checking was seamless. Host answered any questions and addressed any problems. It was near grocery and restaurants. The beds were great. I slept on the Murphy bed and the mattress was firm and easy to get in and out of and adjoined to bath. We did not use the outside much because of the rainy weather. Hope to stay again. Close to the Cinnamon Barn where my granddaughter got married.

The house was lovely! It’s so refreshing to see a home so beautifully restored and honored the way this house was. The pool was fantastic and we used it every day of our stay. Some of the outdoor furniture was in a little bit of rough shape, but the interior of the house was just about immaculate.
