We loved the character of the house! One of the kids favorite places we've stayed! Everything from clean, comfy beds and linens to all other basic necessities were taken care of. Perfect home for 6 people. The front and back porch decks were very cool and we spent a lot of time out there. Great location to Down Town. Such a beautiful area! Great communication with hosts, They had helpful instructions and very detailed info. We would definitely stay again!
