The house is located right there in the heart of downtown on Main Street, with a private driveway and parking in the back of the house.

Other things to note -
While we have preserved the originality of the home including gorgeous hardwood throughout. We have added new modifications and modern appliances for a more comfortable stay.

Also the house has an air mattress with sheets, as well as a pack n play.



Please enjoy your stay. You have full access to the home and all the amenities! We appreciate privacy and want to make sure you have the same. However, we are a phone call away if there are any issues.

Any food/drink in the house is fair game - help yourself.

Check out - we do not require any special cleaning as you pay for that luxury. If you would like to start the dishwasher or laundry on the way out, that would be great, but 100% optional.

We stayed for just one night, as we were literally passing through traveling home. This home had plenty of parking and was easy to find and get into the property. There are many positives: roomy for a group, large bedrooms, hot water for showers, and a wonderful booklet filled with area highlights, shopping, and restaurants. Our 17 yr old thought he died and went to heaven with the Xbox :) My husband was concerned about the master shower floor which seemed very slippery. That could be remedied with a mat. Overall, very happy with our stay.

Kitchen was terrific complete with all dishes, appliances, condiments, etc. Nice washer and dryer in there as well. The house was clean and had full sets of sheets and towels. The "third" bedroom is a very small room on the first floor with a day bed that does convert to a "king" but it is two twin mattresses so you get the gap between. Water pressure for the showers is adequate but could be improved. The house is right on Main Street, which is a one-way two lane road with high traffic volume, so often a bit noisy. Nice living room with a TV and lots of games, dining room with room for 8 or more, and two nice sized bedrooms with two baths upstairs. Overall, for what the cost was the experience was very good and I would recommend it.

Very cute

This little (not so little) house is adorable. It was a very nice and relaxing stay. My only complaint is the mattresses were too hard for my liking. Otherwise the host was great and very responsive. The place was clean and well equipt.
