We loved this charming, beautiful home that was rich with history and warmth. It was the perfect spot for my family to get together for an event at Hampden Sydney College. The house has many many amenities. The hosts were responsive and very pleasant to communicate with. We would definitely stay at this property again!!
Host was very friendly and helpful. More space than I imagined. Adorable place. Very clean and comfortable. Beds were extra comfortable, luxury towels and plenty of extra blankets etc. the basement area is such a nice extra touch. It's obvious the owners have put a ton of thought and effort into this house.
