Loved the charm of this old house. The host was fabulous to work with. I gave it three stars only because it is an old house which still is in the renovation stage and it still needs some work. It worked perfectly for our family. It is not appropriate for those who have trouble climbing stairs. I would give it 3 1/2 stars if allowed to do so.

It was such a treat to stay in this charming historic home. You feel transported back in time with the amazing architectural details but with all the modern amenities. It had everything to suit our family and dog- a 3rd floor rec room, bunk beds, a great fenced in yard, a dog bed, food/water bowels, plus a Harry Potter-style bathroom under the stairs! The host was very welcoming and gets 5 stars for efficient and warm communication. We left laundry in the dryer after we checked out and she offered to ship it or arranged for it to be picked. A true host!
