Fall Weeken Getaway
The location is in a great spot. Not too far to walk to town and not in a crowded area. Everything was very good, but not exceptional. It did not feel very private. From the open stairs in the kitchenette one can easily hear the people downstairs. I wouldn’t consider staying for longer than a weekend.

Absolutely loved how quiet this beautiful home is. Thought of every detail, wonderful blackout blinds, chargers, kitchen. Bathroom was stunning. Loved the outdoor spaces on the balcony and the front porch. You could watch the horse carriages drive by in the evening.

Everything was great what a beautiful place. Our dog however couldn’t relax. There’s a yard but not fenced in so we had to but him on a lead. He didn’t like it. I would stay there again if it’s just my husband and I but not with a golden retriever

Girls Trip
It was a nice place. We would have preferred to have a sink in the kitchenette but, it was a short stay. We couldn’t get the tv in the living room to connect to WI Fi but we watched the one in the bedroom and it worked good. Also I would suggest a blind or non sheer curtain on the bathroom door. It overall it was great. Make sure you realize it was a second floor rental. I didn’t see that but we did good. That was on me.

Very nice older home. Was on a quiet street with minimal traffic. The bathroom was an A ! The two bedrooms and sitting area were clean and beds were comfortable. Due to the weather being so great we were able to open the windows, however, the sills definitely need cleaning out. Anyway, about a 5 minute walk to town. If you can’t do or don’t like stairs, this may not be the place for you. I would stay here again.

Beautiful upstairs apartment one block from main street! I was able to walk everywhere that I wanted to go see. The only thing that would make it perfect would be an expanded kitchen or the use of a grill. Host was very quick with his responses.

NICE!!
This is a cozy little get away place that we enjoyed very much. Loved the kitchenette for morning coffee and late evening suppers of leftovers warmed in the microwave. We also enjoyed afternoon tea there each day of our stay. Evenings were spent in the lovely front room in front of the television watching retro tv programs...a favorite. The bedrooms and bath were very generous as well. The location is close to downtown and very walkable. We would enjoy staying there again. Thanks!!

Softball rainout
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this historic property! We came to participate in a softball tourney that ended up being rained out so we got to enjoy the waterpark instead! This property is a short walk into town, which we did twice during our 2-night stay. Classy decorations and a tub my kids enjoyed bathing in with a super cute deck out back (2nd story). Chris was prompt, professional and kind in his responses to my requests and helped make our stay stress-free! Thank you!

Great short stay location.
Great apartment located just a block off Main Street. Everything was within walking distance. Great place to stay for a weekend. There is a fridge, coffee maker, and microwave available to use. Great restaurants near by. Chris had lots of excellent suggestions. Great little balcony and the bathroom remodel is beautiful.
