Beautifully preserved 1900's home
The property was lovely with the modern comforts in a well preserved 1900's home. We loved all the details left from the original home. As for the moderm updates, the house was warm with great digital heating throughout (could be adjusted for personal comfort) ; water pressure throughout was great ; the kitchen was perfect with everything you would need (big refrigerator/freezer, stove, oven, microwave, keurig and all the plates/cups/pans etc). The mattresses amd bedding were excellent and super comfortable. The host is very responsive with great communication. Thank you for a great stay
