This place is so fun! The bathrooms and kitchen have been updated magnificently and are beautiful. I would love to have them in my house. The beds were very comfortable and the bedding was cozy and comfortable too. We enjoyed the rocking chairs on the porch all weekend. Our whole family watched movies each night in the living room. The decor and rooms are very entertaining and well curated. It made this experience fun and enjoyable to stay in a home unlike our own. Each room has its own character. The neighborhood was very quiet and friendly. We walked to the capital and around it, enjoying the area. There is a Frank Loyd Wright house just a few blocks away too. It’s very convenient to Buffalo Trace distillery, which is what we went for. Also close to restaurants and shops in town. It would work great for 4 couples as the bathrooms are all independent of any of the bed rooms. Our family of 5 enjoyed the space and everyone having their own room. The host was very kind, informative and did an amazing job putting this house together.
