Pleasant stay in a historic home.

House was clean inside and very pleasant to hang out in. Guests need more control of A/C. Home needs a coffee grinder. Perhaps a couple softer pillows. But besides that, we would stay again. Thank you

Perfect Location

My family stayed at this wonderful house for a couple of days. We were comfortable and it was a great location for us. Very nice house and easy communication with the property manager or owner.
