We all enjoyed being in a historic house in a lovely location. It was wonderful to have morning coffee in the peaceful, beautiful backyard. The house is large and comfortable. Our hosts were very gracious and responsive

Loved the house! Backyard was beautiful, mosquitos were terrible could not go outside without bug spray. Can’t get the kayaks in the wAter from the house, due to poison ivy and no stairs or ramp.
