The house was great for us as there was 4 of us for the Villa Louis carriage Classic horse show. House was clean it’s an old house so the floors do squeak quite a lot when someone gets up in the night. It was close to where we had to be and town of McGregor is super cute. Overall a good stay!

Property was 15 minute walk to shops, local restaurants and pubs.Large living room with large dining room, half bath downstairs with bathroom and shower upstairs. Nice front porch seating area to enjoy those cool evenings outside. The stairs were challenging for my mother in law ( who is 92 ) but she was able to get up and downstairs. All bedrooms are upstairs, each room was tastefully decorated and a good size. Thank you for sharing your house with us.
