Charming and cozy house with thoughtful amenities and lots of character. As if you’re staying in someone’s home. It’s well taken care of! The fireplace is lovely and so is the backyard. There is one bathroom and the third bedroom is downstairs in the basement, but it is nicely set up. The stay was great. We had a hiccup at check in but the host went above and beyond and simply made it right and quickly. Appreciate the human touch.
