It's lovely and quiet. Honestly, the photos don't do it justice. It is a well-restored Victorian house. This location is off the beaten path but has plenty of rooms to house many people.

We loved the house, but it could use some updates. It really could use a thorough cleaning. There was plenty of room for our four adults and two teenagers. There were plenty of towels and toiletries provided. We enjoyed visiting the John Deere house just across the street. There isn’t much else right there, but parks and restaurants were a short drive away.

Pros: Beautiful home. Very pleasant neighborhood to walk. Host responds quickly. Affordable for the space. Large sleeping capacity. Cons: Main bathroom shower could be cleaned of other people's bar soaps. Very unclear how to operate key box. Missing top sheets on king bed and regular pillows, just had pillows in decorative cases. Overall, nice home, we would revisit.
