Liked: Cleanliness
In the woods but in town
The first thing that strikes you is how much you want to sit on that porch as soon as you get your luggage inside. Beautiful view very peaceful although a couple of blocks from downtown. The second thing that hits you is when you open the front door and the musty smell Comes out. It’s not overwhelming, but it’s definitely there and it might bother some people. It’s all good other than that except for the fact that half the house has old-fashioned two prong outlets only, so no grounding plug will work with three prongs. You should plan accordingly .

A very good spot for relaxing, but not great for business guests. All the plus in home are two prong without the ground, and I had no way to plug in my computer safely to work at night.
