Great property with plenty of room in quiet neighborhood. Our hostess was great with communication and her "staff" went out of their way to catch up to us with something I forgot. Totally enjoyed the coffee bar. Thank you for a great stay!

We were there for a weekend to see the EBT and Rockhill Trolley Museum, which was of walking distance from the house.The house was comfy and perfect for our crew! Kitchen was cute and they had a stocked coffee bar! Not sure if they had some toys out because we told her we had a toddler with us or if they are always there but that was a nice surprise! Also, our little one had the best time looking for the hidden cartoon mice. All in all a very pleasant stay and we will be back!
Little hidden mice throughout the house! Our little one had fun seeking them out!

Very comfortable stay. The house has been renovated inside, modern lighting, rooms were nicely done, bathrooms were nice, kitchen has everything you would need and then some (I always bring hot sauce along, for my eggs in the morning, but this home not only had hot sauce, but 4 different choices, that was awesome). Coffee station was well supplied, and with good coffee. Firepit out back was well supplied, and there are tools for making smores. Very nice place. Just a few minutes walks to the East Broad Top Railroad (you can see, and hear, the engine prepping in the morning, that was pretty cool). Nice porch out front as well. Real nice place to stay.
