It was a cute house for a couples getaway without kids. Super close to downtown, which was great. Only thing the stairs in the house are very steep so just have to be careful. Other than that great house for 4 people!

Charming brick house from a past era. Lovingly decorated in a historic theme but updated kitchen and baths. Cosy outdoor seating on screened porch and backyard. Two block walk (downhill) to Main St. A perfect spot for a retreat from today’s world.
