This home is charming and cozy and so perfect for a Murphy’s get-away. The location couldn’t be more convenient with easy walking to all the fun things on Main St. The beds are comfortable, the towels are fluffy and the best part is there’s plenty of room to hangout with friends and have meals or play games & visit. The property owners are easy to communicate with and are wonderful people. We love this place!

The host was very accommodating. The house is spacious, our 2 sons and their families stayed there for Thanksgiving. It was walking distance from our home in town so grandsons could come visit on their own. Would definitely rent again.
