Beautifully Historic Home

This home is such a gorgeous piece of history, and extremely family friendly. I was worried about having my 3 and 6 year olds in this home, for fear of messing something up, but it truly is family friendly and a great experience for all ages. My 80 year old in laws stayed as well, and were so impressed/excited to see so many relics from their childhoods. The family that owns it is nothing but kind, accommodating, and easily accessible in case they need to be reached. 10/10, I hope I have a reason to come back down in order to stay here again.

Thank you so much for your kind words! It truly means the world to us that your whole family—from your little ones to your 80-year-old in-laws—felt at home and enjoyed the history and charm of our place. Your family was such a joy to host, and our boys absolutely loved making new friends during your stay. We would be thrilled to welcome you back anytime—you're always welcome at The Historic Hidden Gem! Warmly, Dianella & Family
