Well-appointed and stylish classic house
"Just-right, updated classic home. We were all comfortable here. The location is quite convenient to shopping, and the kitchen is well-stocked. A little bit of early-morning street noise from the upper bedrooms but otherwise, a perfect stay!"

"Very clean with everything we needed and then some! We lucked out with warm weather in December and got to enjoy the beautiful porch some too!
Our friends found the front bedroom mattress to be a ‘deep-valley’ mattress; so was the cute Victorian loveseat. I’ve never showered in a converted claw foot tub before. My husband described it as showering in a baggie.
The place was immaculate and so convenient to our activities. Great communication with the host and everything worked as promised."

Finish that fence!
"Lolz, the pics made it seem there is a fenced in yard, but on arrival it was actually open on 2 sides. We had dogs with us, but that's why they make leashes I guess. Overall a nice spot. Thanks"
