Such a lovely property! Everything you need and want in a beautiful setting and neighborhood! Just a little walk to the square. Would absolutely stay again if ever in this area!

This home was beautifully redone. It keeps the charm of the original home yet had all the modern conveniences. The kitchen is fully stocked with a full set of pans and bake ware which is terrific. It also has full service for plate ware. I think eight but I didn’t count that. We were three blocks from the town square and the neighborhood is beautiful so we walked just about everywhere. We use Vrbo listings almost exclusively and this home is the best we have seen. Book eatly for your event because you won’t find better and it books out quite far.
