Perfect getaway!

Couldn’t recommend this home more! From the moment you pull up, the house is charming and clean. The inside was so spacious and they even had a bottle of wine waiting for us. Little did they know it was our wedding weekend which was such a fitting surprise. The porch was an amazing addition to the home as well. Everything was clean and felt so homey! Will definitely stay here again.

Seeing in the new years

The property is in excellent condition and location is very walkable. We planned on eating out but for those wanting to eat at home there is little locally for groceries and would need to plan to stop ahead or bring along.With it being a duplex expected some noise. Unfortunately a poor dog was left alone for long periods and cried some of the time
