The home is exactly as described. Even with the more modern amenities it retains its classic charm. My only suggestion is to add that this is an upstairs dwelling in the description, in case any visitors have mobility concerns We would definitely recommend!

Second Story Rental
The rental should be listed as a 2 bedroom; the sectional couch is considered the 3rd place to sleep--not the best to sleep on; since a sectional has a tendency to separate when you move around on it. We had 6 adults in the unit. The Unit is spacious--it is the entire upper level of the house. Make sure you can do steps. It was a great location. Didn't spend much time in the house. Great location.

Clean & adequate.
Overall a decent place. The one bedroom only has a sofa to sleep on. The water got hot for showers but not very hot at all in the kitchen.

Nice place but eh
Provided 2 towels for 4 adults on a 3 day stay. I reached out via email/mobile prior never was able to get hold of anyone until check in. Did not get correct key code until I had to call in (first communication). On Netflix - the icon has “ lesser people” log in .

Girl’s weekend
We really enjoyed our stay here. Great location, plenty of parking, and the place had everything we needed. The only negatives- the bed in the main bedroom needs updated. When two people lay in the bed it sinks in the middle. The shower has zero water pressure (I’m sure if the shower head was changed to a smaller shower head than the rainfall head that’s in there it would be better). Also, no hot water to the kitchen- not sure why that is.
