Everything was great. Comfy beds and nice kitchen with all the cookware you need. The yard is nice and big with plenty of deer roaming the property. I would definitely stay again.

The house is spacious and cozy--plenty of space both for spreading out with friends at the big dining table, or catching up with cocktails in the common room. Kitchen is spacious, too, and a blast to make big dinners in. The bedrooms have plenty of closet and storage space for long stays. There's only one catch: during colder days, the difference in temps upstairs and downstairs are noticeable. Upstairs can get a bit stuffy if the thermostat is set high, so tone that baby down by five degrees (we kept it at 67 during the day when it was in the 50s, and 62 at night, with the windows cracked, and it was very comfortable). If you're a prude, sorry. But the more "able" of visitors will adjust with and simply adapt to the quirks of this old house, which my partner and I have done with any house we rent. There's no perfect situation, especially with older houses. And who doesn't want the personality? If you want cookie cutter, sleep in an IKEA showroom. But if you want soul, come here.There's a terrific park, and the Enola Low Grade Trail, within a fifteen minute walk from the front door (parking too), which I accidentally found when I went for an early morning hike through the woods. And there's an easy little loop trail behind the houses across the street with quiet paths and very quiet too.Don't forget the fire pit... room for four. But we could have used some more firewood...All around excellent stay. Would definitely do it again.
