We celebrated Thanksgiving with our out-of-town family members at this home. It’s was perfect for this. The house is stunning and had room for people to gather together and to have some quiet time alone if needed. We specifically wanted a historic home and it was exactly what we were looking for. Also important, all of the appliances were in fantastic working order which was clutch for cooking Thanksgiving dinner. I would absolutely stay at the property again.
