Exciting for younger family members

Convenient location with unique floor plan that lends itself to “hide & seek”. There’s plenty of space and quirky characteristics to make a memorable experience. The twin loft beds are accessed past the queen bed which would give a little extra parental supervision opportunity if you need it. Loved the fireplace.

Gals weekend!

Quaint and quirky but bring plenty of wood in winter! Loads to look at with the eclectic rustic charm of the house. Loved our stay though couldn’t find the speaker charger. Beware the stairs if there’s a couple of you in the kitchen! LOL
