We enjoyed our stay in this charming house. There was plenty of room for our family of four, and the kitchen had all the tools I needed to prepare Christmas dinner. The house was very clean and comfortable. I highly recommend this location.

Beautiful historic home that is lovely while being relaxing and cozy. The bed was comfortable, towels and bath products of nice quality. We enjoyed time in the enclosed back porch and the rockers out front. The location was perfect for a quick drive to shops, restaurants, and the lake front. Communication and check-in was organized and easy. We would stay again!
