Nice old house!

Host was very helpful and communicative! The house has nice gathering space and charm. Also, and this was a BIG plus for our group which included an elderly person with a walker, IT HAS A RAMP to get in! (The bed on the main level is a tad high for someone with mobility issues to climb into however, but that person in our group just slept on the couch and was comfy.) It was rainy while we were there, but it looks like a good backyard for nice weather (nice patio & fire pit, etc.)! We enjoyed our stay!

Great Stay!

A few friends and I were in town for a wedding and stayed at the property with our dogs. It is a beautiful setting, especially in fall! We enjoyed using the deck and fire pit, and the beds were comfy. One thing to note is to have an accurate count of how many people will be staying with you because that will change the price of your stay.
