Great space! Huge kitchen for helping fam with turkey day prep. Everyone could spread out and relax and also come together with ease. LOVED the fireplace, such a cozy vibe and the hot tub was beautiful and well placed. Dogs were very happy to have the yard

Family vacation to celebrate birthday

Absolutely loved our stay! The house was spacious, clean, and beautifully appointed with everything we needed. The large kitchen was especially impressive—well stocked and perfect for cooking and conversation. The location couldn’t be better—just a quick walk to Main Street with shops, restaurants, and more. Highly recommend!

Time with cousins

The house is wonderful, fully equipped, comfortable and close to downtown. The only downside was the lack of TP in the bathrooms, we had to go shopping. Would stay again.
