Destroyed in the War of 1812, and rebuilt in 1816, this house is full of history and charm. With the newer additions, the house is spacious, large enough for our group of eight guests, and yet feels very cozy. With several common areas in the house and three full bathrooms, we never felt like we were on top of one another. Our favorite room was the one between the kitchen and entry way. The home's garden and courtyard are lovely as well, although we didn't have time to enjoy them as much as we would have liked. I'd 100% recommend this house for family gatherings or groups of responsible adults (being an historic home, there are lots of care instructions). We happened to be there during an intense heat wave so I imagine this isn't a problem most of the time, but the bedrooms upstairs were a little toasty, even with the fans that they have provided.
And while the interiors of the house are well appointed and comfortable, the best part about the house is its proximity to bustling Queen Street. Only one block from the main thoroughfare, we could easily walk everywhere in town.
Jane and Chris were very helpful throughout our stay and clearly proud, dedicated homeowners. Overall, our experience was 5 star!
