Perfect house
We really enjoyed our stay at the Carriage house. The house was really clean and provided everything we needed for our stay. We had 4 adults and 3 kids under 13 and there was plenty of room for everyone. The basement was great for the kids. Would definitely book again

Great house with a cool history.
We really enjoyed our stay at the Carriage House (a genuinely refurbished old 19th century carriage house). The owners were attentive and supplied everything we needed. The house was super with a fresh remodel but retaining its historical charm.

Fantastic in many ways!
The house is very clean, organized and charming. The location is in a central, in-town, residential neighborhood very close to lakes. The owners are fully accessible and very friendly.
