This place is delightful. We travel a lot and work from the road and this is a great place for this. Nice kitchen to provide lunch / breakfast while in town. The back porch was a nice place to enjoy the afternoon sun.It was a perfect place to have to go see a show at the Admiral. We walked down to that area and grabbed some dinner, saw the show, walked back. It made for a great 29th anniversary.Host can help you out with anything. Very responsive.Great place to stay.

Great accommodations, great proximity!
This is a charming, homey feeling place to stay. The comforts of home have been carefully appointed, making your stay affordable and easy to enjoy yourself. You are within walking distance to the Old Market, and Olsen's bakery being 900 feet from the front door, was so great! Would definitely return! Kat is a wonderful host.
