Loved the old character of the beautiful charming house. Very walkable to amazing restaurants. The only thing to note, it is not quiet as it’s right next to a highway off ramp/busy road, also can easily hear guests is other rooms and above with the creeky floors but guests did a good job during quiet hours. Host was very helpful with local info and exploring nearby ski areas.

The lights around the patio are nice but also invasive in the bedroom. If u replace the missing blind on the east side of the building so the lights don’t shine in it would be very nice👍

The property was nice. In a great location for dining and shopping. The kitchen was furnished with the necessities and had complimentary coffee and tea. Loved the deck with the suite. Lots of stairs to our suite so not good if mobility challenged.

Very cute little guest house. Different apartments in an old, historic house. You can't beat the location. You are a block off of the main street of downtown and can walk almost anywhere. Communication with the staff is excellent.

Kathy Ann (the owner) was very nice. Readily available with any questions we had. The attention to detail in the room such as the furnishings, beddings, coffee and tea for our use as well as a basket of goodies (olive oil, noodles and sauce were a nice touch. Especially if you get in late and haven't had dinner. The location was wonderful, right in the center of town. Everything in walking distance. We would definitely stay there again. Highly recommend!!!
