Great house and Host

This is a great home and even better host! We originally had one of their other homes but due to an unwanted pest they moved us to a larger home without charging us anything else. Everything was perfect and we were able to enjoy our 50th High School Reunion. Thanks for a wonderful weekend Tom & Stacy Riley

Cute house near the square

My family and I stayed at this house for a weekend getaway and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. The house is nicely updated, the backyard is enclosed with a privacy fence, and the location is walking distance from the square. We would stay here again.

The Retreat

We enjoyed the property. The back yard was spacious, but the yard is basically overgrown with weeds and clover. There may have been rain, but it seemed that the sprinkler created mud and the yard needed to be mowed. Wasp nests were under the eaves of the roof and in the windows off the front and back porch. We purchased spray and used it, but there were additional nests and they need to be addressed. Thanks, Mark.
