    "It's the Captain Joseph Tillinghast house. It was built in the late 1700s. This means the amenities are a little funny. Not every room has It's own half bathroom. There's two shared bathrooms that have showers in them. Everything's remodeled though and after getting used to the setup it was really cool staying in a room that was 250 years old"
