This is an interesting house with a great yard. Host was terrific. If you like cookie cutter and have no sense of humor, this is not your house. If you like quirkie, unique and can laugh at squeaky floorboards and the uniqueness of a very old house, you will enjoy.

Staying here was fun-- pretty location, neat old house. The gathering space was kind of tight, tho. More comfortable furnishings would've made the experience nicer. Some things were dirty (dishes/utensils weren't clean, dining room has a greasy patch on it which left us feeling a little cautious and grossed out). Wish there was some ziploc bags, alum foil, plastic wrap, paper plates. The plates/bowls provided weren't microwave safe, the oven wasn't working (the owner is attentive and helpful, we just didn't realize oven was not functional till later in the last night so didn't bother asking for help.) Not enough outlets since old house and noticed there were no smoke detectors? If the space had better furnishings in general the stay would've been that much more comfortable. We made do-- it was a pleasant stay overall.
