Hostess were amazing. Pool area could have been cleaner but overall the location was clean, beautiful house, very spacious, kids had lots of fun. Easy access to local areas. Just a great place to visit.

Thanks so much Nora, we fixed up the pool area with the recent winds everything moved around with extra leaves. We look forward to hosting yall again.
This home is such a gorgeous piece of history, and extremely family friendly. I was worried about having my 3 and 6 year olds in this home, for fear of messing something up, but it truly is family friendly and a great experience for all ages. My 80 year old in laws stayed as well, and were so impressed/excited to see so many relics from their childhoods. The family that owns it is nothing but kind, accommodating, and easily accessible in case they need to be reached. 10/10, I hope I have a reason to come back down in order to stay here again.
