Up and down

The property was OK. The issue we had with property was we were mainly just in and out. We were in the area to visit with family and friends. We spent more time going from the top floor to the basement to shower

Cute home with great amenities

Very cute historic home with comfortable living area, large dining area, kitchen, porch, backyard, and ping-pong table downstairs. My adult kids enjoyed the ping-pong, which was a surprise. Beds were comfortable. Youngest son slept on floor as there are only 2 queens, but we had a sleeping bag with us, so not a big deal. One bathroom upstairs (tub only), and one bathroom (with shower) in basement. Plenty of parking as we were in two vehicles. Overall a very nice stay.
