This is a beautiful house with a quiet location, only a 1 mile walk to Grants House. The kitchen had all we needed and the fire pit was such a treat! Comfy beds and great shower pressure. Definitely recommend this house - lots of different outdoor spaces to enjoy also!

We had a wonderful stay here! The house was very clean, comfortable, and quiet. This place is pet-friendly, which made traveling with our dog so easy and stress-free. The location is unbeatable with great access to downtown. We were able to walk to nearby restaurants and shops within minutes. We highly recommend this spot and would love to stay here again!

Communication is phenomenal- I stupidly locked myself out 10 minutes into my stay and my phone call was answered immediately. It was resolved within 15 minutes, I couldn’t have been more grateful for their responsiveness for my blunder.The location is fantastic- great if you want to walk into town but keep in mind there are good amount of steps and steep hills on the way! Otherwise a quick 2 minute drive.House was very clean and nicely kept. The game room was such a nice touch.I would and will definitely stay here again- I highly recommend!

Beautiful home with a beautiful covered porch and beautiful fire pit.Home has everything you need. The walking path to downtown is close but there are 90 steps to go down and come back up. I suggest driving to Main Street. I would rent this home again! Highly recommended.
