House had an old country charm, and was clean. Jonna was a wonderful host and very accessible. Very close to downtown with nice restaurants-Embers and Royal Oak.

Stay here for work regularly and it never disappoints. The layout is great for groups or a family (lots of beds!), but I personally love the scenic wooded view from the back of the property—it’s stunning. The kitchen is fully equipped and, thankfully, has a dishwasher so you aren't stuck doing chores on your trip. It’s quiet, comfortable, and has everything you need for a long or short stay.
