The home has been lovingly restored by the great-great-granddaughter of the original owners, who rediscovered the property generations later and thoughtfully preserved its historic beauty while adding modern comforts throughout. Each bedroom includes unique decorative touches inspired by family history, local artists, and meaningful personal details connected to the home’s story.

Great house for a large group. Loved the front porch and spacious rooms. We were there to celebrate my daughter’s Bridal Shower. I was thankful for the two refrigerators because I made and transported the cake and was able to keep it separate from all of our other food. The kitchen is a good size but if you want to do any serious cooking, bring what you need. The kitchen could use more cookware/bakeware storage containers. Other than that the house was great!! Would stay there again!!
