This historical home was beautiful and exceptionally clean. The host went over and above to make sure stay was comfortable. This home was the most well equipped rental home that we've stayed in. All the cookware and tableware were fairly new and clean. The host also provided a few little and thoughtful things as well. Napkins,salt and pepper coffee filters and starter amt of coffee and creamer and even some laundry detergent. All of the bedding and towels were fresh and new.Highly recommeded.

The pictures don't do it's justice. The property is beautiful. They also make the property look smaller then it actually was. Stayed with 8 adults and we had more then enough room and wasn't on top of each other. It was a wonderful location and walked everywhere in town and was good for central location. We were able to walk to shops, bars and restaurants. My group will definitely think about booking again in the future.

The facility was immaculate and welcoming after a long day of touring the area. I really appreciated having a garage to park in as well! Would definitely book again.
