Different house, but great house

Minor mixups with the property, but good communication with the owner resulted in a different location, which turned out to be just fine for a weekend stay!

An adorable home with plenty of room. Important to keep the bedroom at a comfortable temperature when cold outside. Need to run the fan and cover the vent or it is too warm. It worked perfectly!!

Historic House

Communication and check in were great. Very comfortable beds. Be aware that this is a historic house and some of the floors aren't perfectly level. Not a big deal except when you swing out of bed in the morning and discover yourself slightly off balance. Also, it should be noted that the one TV in the house is very small. Overall, though, a very good stay.
