Such a cute and spacious place. I’ve never stayed in a vacation rental that exceeded my expectations like this. The extremely well appointed kitchen, the cute bathrooms, the spacious parking and the amazing front porch were the standouts for me. Also the property is centrally located in town. Just a short walk from the Bell House Restaurant too. To paraphrase a sign from one of the bathrooms 5 stars. Would stay here again.

Kitchen was terrific complete with all dishes, appliances, condiments, etc. Nice washer and dryer in there as well. The house was clean and had full sets of sheets and towels. The "third" bedroom is a very small room on the first floor with a day bed that does convert to a "king" but it is two twin mattresses so you get the gap between. Water pressure for the showers is adequate but could be improved. The house is right on Main Street, which is a one-way two lane road with high traffic volume, so often a bit noisy. Nice living room with a TV and lots of games, dining room with room for 8 or more, and two nice sized bedrooms with two baths upstairs. Overall, for what the cost was the experience was very good and I would recommend it.

We had a great stay! The house is quite charming and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing girls' trip. Plenty of space and good A/C (we were there in August). Walkable to several shops and restaurants and a short drive to other amenities. Would 100% stay again!

We stayed for just one night, as we were literally passing through traveling home. This home had plenty of parking and was easy to find and get into the property. There are many positives: roomy for a group, large bedrooms, hot water for showers, and a wonderful booklet filled with area highlights, shopping, and restaurants. Our 17 yr old thought he died and went to heaven with the Xbox :) My husband was concerned about the master shower floor which seemed very slippery. That could be remedied with a mat. Overall, very happy with our stay.

Poor water pressure in the shower. Bedsheets were 100% polyester and very uncomfortably hot since AC was insufficient in cooling the upstairs. Front bedroom bed mattress was uncomfortable and main bedroom mattress was very high and difficult to get in and out of without doing high jumps to get in. Main floor bathroom sink was dangerous since it was not wall mounted and nearly fell off its narrow pedestal base. Another upstairs sink was not wall mounted. Ants were present in one of the upstairs bathroom.

This house is in a nice location and had charm and nice upgrades in the kitchen. However, the description of beds for each bedroom was incorrect. There are only two bedrooms that have queen beds. The third bedroom is the size of a closet and has a single bed - the description states there is a king bed… that was not found. We, unfortunately traveled with 3 couples who are all tall and were led to believe there were three bedrooms as listed in the description.The house had a window in the upstairs bedroom that had open air due to the window being old and receding from the frame which made that bedroom very warm. They tried to rectify by adding an air conditioning unit but that caused the room to have extra moisture and a very uncomfortable sleeping experience. The house smelled of stale smoke and the beds were very uncomfortable. I would not choose this rental again.
