Charming Guest House in a Great Location

Guest house was perfect for us - clean, charming and in a great location. We found it easy to access everything on our itinerary. Parking was a never an issue and when we had difficulty entering on our first night, Laurie was extremely helpful. Would stay here again, thanks!

Lovely 3 bedroom

Traveled for a small family reunion and this was a great place for 3 couples. Nice kitchen, 2 full bathrooms, washer and dryer. Lots of steps so be aware and 1 bedroom without windows. Good communication with owner. Nice location with great view.

Not it’s own property

I feel like the listing wasn’t super accurate as to the rental being one of 4 other units on the property, and there being a full time rental on the floor below. The pictures make it look like its own property. Everything turned out fine and I don’t think there were any issues with the other tenants, but it made us worried about bothering other people. The spot is beautiful though and very clean.
