Welcome to The Dahl House

While the home accommodates up to 8 guests, it is most comfortable for 4 to 6 adults. We are not an event or party house, making The Dahl House an excellent choice for guests seeking a peaceful, well-maintained home.

Extended stays are always welcome.

We enjoyed our stay very much. We were coming to help with a sick family member. It was in a convenient location to get around town. The house was so cozy and clean. It had everything we needed for our stay and more! The host was very easy to communicate with and very flexible.
