The Perfect Place For Friends
Several of my high school friends stayed here to attend the funeral of a fellow classmate. The home was beautiful, and its historical characters made it even more special. The porch and deck were wonderful places to gather and reminisce. The bathrooms were lovely and well-equipped. Julie, our host, was welcoming and ensured we had everything we needed. The home is just a short walk away from shopping and food and is in a beautiful setting. Watching the sunrise in the morning was a special treat. I highly recommend this property!

Fabulous Stay!
We had the best time at this amazing, historical house! Julie is the best host (she even left me flowers, a cake, ice cream, and a card for my birthday). She made sure we were taken care of the entire stay. We loved being surrounded by nature and getting to learn about the history of the property. FIVE STAR STAY! Cannot wait to go back.
