We had a great time. There was one upstairs bedroom with no spot to hang clothes, but other than that my family was happy with our stay . Loved the character and history of the house.

Hi Candy! It was so nice to meet you during your stay. :) So sorry about the weird closet in the green bedroom. We have plans to finish it at some point and we will try to add some space for hanging clothes. Thank you for your feedback!

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this beautifully restored historic home! We appreciated the spacious floor plan, comfortable furniture, wonderful dining table with comfortable chairs and amazing hot shower! The kitchen was well appointed with everything we needed and the proximity to downtown is truly steps away! The host was very responsive, kind and detailed. We would absolutely stay again! Thank you so very much

Very charming house - just the right size for our group. Traveling for a family gathering with our children and grandchild over the holidays and needed a place to sleep and eat breakfast between activities. The kitchen was thoughtfully stocked and sufficient to make an apple crisp from scratch during our stay. Beds were very comfortable. We had a winter storm during our stay. While it's an older home, the furnace plus extra blankets available made for a very lovely and cozy stay! Would absolutely come again.
