Charming, Historic Gem in the Perfect LocationWe had a wonderful stay in this beautiful historic home. It’s been lovingly maintained with period-accurate decor that gives it so much character, while still offering all the modern conveniences you could need. Everything was spotless, the beds were very comfortable, and the location couldn’t be better—a grocery store just across the street made things super convenient. The gardens are absolutely bucolic, with several cozy spots to sit and relax outside. A truly quaint and peaceful escape. Highly recommended!

Beautiful home, very clean and the location was perfect. It was close to downtown and across the street from a grocery store but it was very private and quiet. We had deer visit us in the back yard! I had a couple questions and the host got back to me very quickly. There were 6 adults and it was perfect in sleeping/eating/visiting spaces. Beautiful outdoor space as well. Strongly recommend
