The house was very clean an excellent place to stay. Loved seeing the horse and buggies go by. I would advise that the driveway is very steep. The other suggestion would be to replace the commodes with higher ones for folks who have mobility issues. We Loved all the antiques, and the adjustable bed was excellent. We would stay with this host again.
