Loved Loved!! The house was very cozy and beautifully decorated. Outside was very serine, loved the location. Had neighbors but very quiet, tall beautiful trees. Loved, loved the pond with the boat. The location is perfect, just down the road from the Crater of the Diamond State Park. Not to far from town to do some shopping, dinning. Will %100 be back. Thank you again.
