8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2026
The house is beautiful and very period appropriate for the historical area. The area out front is beautiful with two ponds. The balcony overlooking it is gorgeous. Well appointed and stocked. Comfortable and clean. I spoke with the owner/host prior to our visit about accessibility and she was up front about the narrow/steep steps but we were not aware that the only bath/shower was on the third/upper level. That was okay for us but not our friends. They had to find other accommodations. Also the floors are original and beautiful but be aware they are sloped in areas and not level. There was some laundry left in the washer and dryer. But overall our experience was great and we loved the home! I would suggest booking this home for a complete civil war era experience!

Shelly was a great host! We loved the 2nd floor porch where we spent a lot of our time. We also enjoyed learning about the history of the house!
