Happy Easter!

Our family had so much fun spending Easter weekend here. We had stayed at the Old Town Hall last year and the grandkids were begging to go back. We all enjoy riding around on scooters and playing games. The kitchen is a nice size for several "cooks". We enjoyed meals together and time together to talk and play. We had an easter egg and beer hunt and there were many places to hide the eggs. A great weekend in a nice place.

Amazing old building. So much space and fun stuff for kids. Was the perfect winter staycation for our group. Not the type of place that you can expect to be 'pristine' but clean enough and so fun and interesting. Better than the pictures. We'll be back!

Amazing

We wanted to rent a space large enough to house a group of brothers, sisters, their spouses and kids. This space was perfectly amazing!! So much room to sleep with private bedrooms for the couples and loft beds for the kids. Separate livingroom areas and dining area Separate from the game table! Lots of games and activities already there to be used. Our daughters favorite was air hockey!! This is the perfect place to rent for large get togethers to hang out, especially in the winter because there is so much space for the kids to run around and so many things to keep them entertained!! Even an indoor basketball hoop! We loved that too! Heated floors in the bathrooms... AMAZING! We definitely plan on renting this place again and enjoying good quality time together!

Great Space for Family Groups

We spent the weekend with our parents, siblings, and their kids. The house was as shown in pics. Enough beds for everyone, well stocked kitchen, and the owners replied promptly when I had questions. Everyone was very happy with the house and you can tell the owners have put thought into the place and what people will need.
