Amazing downtown riverfront location

The house is comfortable and well-appointed with everything you need to cook, sleep, and wash! Beds were comfortable, bath/shower was great. And the most amazing part was having our own private riverfront oasis complete with comfy Adirondack chairs and a fire pit that we enjoyed every evening. Also the house is literally just steps away from downtown! Huge private gravel parking lot in back. Highly recommend!

Comfy and relaxing for two!

Great stay at a charming place. LOVE the bathroom..good size, great fixtures, fantastic water pressure and awesome shower head. You never know what you’ll get with the bathroom at an old house, but this place was terrific. Just a note: the two bedrooms connect and the second bedroom requires anyone in that room to walk around through the living room and kitchen to get to the bathroom, or they can cut through bedroom 1.
