The home is cozy and beautifully decorated. We really appreciated the little things, too, like plenty of towels plus baggies and kleenex. The creek and property are lovely, a relaxing place to hang out. This is by far the prettiest house we saw in the historic district. Great renovation work and cheerful/welcoming yellow house. I have stayed at many, many VRBO properties through the years and this was the best experience of all of them. Thanks to Jay for the helpful convo about the area just before we arrived!
