Glad you owed it. This house has some history to it that is evidenced by a rock archway in the attic. I have not found anyone how knows it's history.

We truly enjoyed our stay on Mill Street. The house we stayed in couldn’t have been more perfect. So close to the town Square and the home was decorated great and had everything we needed. It was very clean and we were checked on several times by the host. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was great!

Cute house near the square

My family and I stayed at this house for a weekend getaway and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. The house is nicely updated, the backyard is enclosed with a privacy fence, and the location is walking distance from the square. We would stay here again.
