Pleasantly surprised at how clean and comfortable this home was. Located across from a nice park and three block walk to downtown main street. It is situated next to train tracks and it runs twice a day most days, but that didn't bother us.

Hi Ann, I am so glad you enjoyed your stay at The Vaughan House. Most guests also tell me that they find the train is so charming and I have noticed that some days it only goes by once, the schedule seems to be sporadic. Hope to have you back again next time you visit! Amy
