Lovely home filled with light, convenient location to surrounding areas but very private. Fenced area for the dog was appreciated. We were very comfortable here for four nights and plan to return to the area soon. Definitely recommend.

Quaint, comfortable, and secluded, and close to everything we wanted. Yes, railroad tracks right out front but that didn't bother us.

Very clean, lots of character and convenient location to shops and restaurants! This house was perfect for our family’s holiday weekend getaway. I wish it hadn’t rained too much for us to enjoy the nice patios, but there were lots of great spots inside to curl up with a book. The loft upstairs? What a cute use of the space, I want one! Besides the occasional train, the area is incredibly quiet and peaceful. I do recommend packing earplugs if you sleep lightly, but most of us slept through fine. My kids are train enthusiasts and LOVED watching the track from the upstairs windows. They are still talking about it.
