Great to be able to walk back and forth to town. Enjoyed having a fire every night. Garage was convenient to park in due to snow over night. Deer and fox running through the yard. We always enjoy our stay.
Beautiful property with lots of nice touches that made our stay feel personal. Love how close the house is to town while also feeling tucked away in nature. Would definitely recommend!

This was a fantastic place to stay. Great location, great garage for the bikes, great fire pit. We will do it again next year.
Excellent location easily walkable to the town. Private yard, great porch, fire pit, grill, kitchen etc.Wish there was extra sheets for the couches / spare mattress. Listing said bring your own but we were flying in and didn’t have room to bring bed sheets.

Reviewer Comments:
We loved this house. Two completely separate bedrooms make it great for 2 couples. Very clean and updated. The wrap around porch is great, and we loved cooking dinner there on the grill one night. Would be nice if travel bars of soap were left in the bathrooms but that's obviously minor. Keep in mind the walk into town has a large # of concrete steps. As long as you are mobile, not an issue.
