Winter getaway..
For years our 4 couples have been going north in January for a weekend…as we have aged, we are finding we enjoy wineries and good restaurants more than slogging through snow….this has been a fantastic property as our base. Thank you for sharing…we well be back…

Fabulous House
Great house for families. Lots of beds and bathrooms so it was great when traveling with 5 adults. Can't beat the location. A short walk to the main street, food and shops. There are lots of stairs so if you are disabled it may be hard to navigate. Having a washer and dryer were a real plus and the full kitchen was very helpful. Pretty much everything you would need was provided. Clean and centrally located. Wonderful atmosphere and very unique. Thanks for a great stay!
