Location
Wonderful walkable location! Need a car for groceries and to explore the area. Very nice place for one or two people. Would be helpful to know how to heat the separate dining room before arrival.
The owner went over and beyond and made our honeymoon special with a special request that I had and was more than we could have even imagined. Will definitely stay here again
