Charm and Comfort
Julie and Gary were wonderful hosts and made sure our family was comfortable and had everything we needed. The home is decorated beautifully and has much character and charm but still feels comfortable like home. The backyard tops it all off on a nice sunny day!

Beautiful home, great hosts, amazing Christmas here!
Beautiful home, so clean, very impressed overall. So magical for Christmas. Only downside was I did not realize the hosts live attached to the home (bedroom beside the hot tub), but they were absolutely wonderful and very kind.
Thank you for a great stay!

Excellent! As beautiful as advertised and our hosts were wonderful, accommodating & accessable!
We enjoyed our brief stay immensely. The manor house was beautiful and is situated in a lovely setting. We were a group of 7 and used 5 of the rooms. Everyone enjoyed their rooms and had a great nights rest. Our hosts were very responsive, both before & after our arrival. Would definitely stay here again!
