Great stay in historic home

We loved all the original details of the home and it was well kept. The only negative was not receiving code to the property before arriving, but property manager was easy to contact and fixed the problem right away. Home had nice amenities and we would stay there again.

Beautiful home with lots of room to spread out

We enjoyed 3 nights. The 2 story home includes two bedrooms upstairs (20 steep steps up). One a king in suite bathroom with walk in shower. Second room has double bed, single bed and bunkbeds with in suite bath with big walk in shower. First floor has 2 bedrooms with king beds. They share the only bathroom on the first floor. Bathroom is small with only a tub, no walk in shower so guest that want to shower will have to walk upstairs for a shower. King beds are very comfortable. Kitchen has everything you will need. A large screened porch and a dining room and living room. Parking is one car in the driveway and others on street. Plenty of room to park on street. A great home in a great location.
