Cute historic bungalow, the home was very neat and clean. The kitchen was well stocked with the utensils you need and had filtered water in the fridge. Check-in was super easy as was checkout.

It was a great place to stay. Just enough room for all of us. The outside seating also came in handy. And the air conditioning works great in this historic house.

My family and I had a wonderful time at this adorable little home! The pictures are accurate, and Amelia is very responsive and accommodating! We enjoyed the outside area, and with permission we had a few of my Dad's friends come over for dinner, and everyone had a great time! (Please note that it is located on one of the main streets, so there is a lot of traffic to be cautious of if you have small kids/pets. It was pretty quiet during the night, however. If you are a light sleeper I would bring ear plugs for the occasional loud vehicle.) We would definitely stay again! Thanks!
This was a historical home and it was beautiful inside and out the property is clearly well kept the home was perfect and comfortable and made us feel right at home traveling with three generations on one trip we were all very pleased and very happy with the layout the ease of everything and how lovely the house was just a wonderful experience to stay in such a historic home in such a lovely town
