I live in a neighboring town so if you need anything I can help. I also can offer highlights and things to do. I’m a survivalist, bushcrafter, and forest school teacher so if you’d like a foraging/outdoor experience let me know!

Always a welcoming environment at Heathers places. It was nicely decorated for the holidays as well!

The place was comfy and clean. Just a bit difficult for my handicapped (double amputee) husband due to some of the layout bit we managed. Thank you for letting us experience your historical home.

Fitting price and great place that’s pretty accurate compared to photos. There was some sort of creature stirring in the walls all night though hard to get sleep. Other than that the place has everything you need for an accommodating stay.
