Love this place!
The home was so cozy and quaint. I love how close it was to local places. We rode our bicycles around the back roads close to the river. Beautiful ride. There is also a gas station and a restaurant close by. We drove down to the 40 acre park with our 7 year old and spent a couple of hours down there playing and exercising. We felt safe here and when it rained it gave us a chance to play some of the cool boardgames that are stashed in the dining room. Oh and my favorite part was the library. Something for everyone, young and old. Beautiful home.

Adorable Home
We have stayed here before when visiting the area and will hopefully be able to stay here again when in the area. It is a well maintained older home with tons of character. It is conveniently located not just to the events we attend in the area, but also to the river. Comfortable beds that fit our needs.

We were five, ages 16 - 67. It’s an understatement to say the room layout is fabulous for a family. Beautiful inside on top of functional. Great assortment of entertainment provided as well. Looking forward to returning!

Charming cottage
This house is better than described. It has the charm of an older home with modern amenities. Has enough room to sleep 5 comfortably. We needed to be in the area and it could not have been closer to our event! Very easy to understand instructions for check in and check out. The host was easy to get in touch with and went above and beyond to make our stay a fantastic experience. If we need to be in the area again - this will be our "go to" place to stay.
