A Great Home Away From Home

This property was a perfect place for my family to stay and friends too! All the history that is shown in that home was breathtaking! All the rooms were clean and ready for us! A great game room and bedrooms that were unique in their own ways!

We booked for location. A nice stay.

Some of the items in the home were helpful to have. A little more clutter than we care for, though. Overall a positive stay.

Average Stay

This home is very old. It is full of antiques and smells as such. We did have nice enough weather that we were able to open windows to air it out. There were enough beds for the 10 of us. The upstairs shower leaked through the ceiling into the bedroom below. When I contacted the host, they said there should have been a note on how to avoid that? Bathrooms had mold on the curtain and ceiling. Location was great and parking was awesome. Not a bad home, but wouldn’t choose it again.
