Lovely historical house, with all the amenities. Cute general store with beer and delicious breakfast sandwiches. We absolutely love staying here! We are conflicted, we want to keep it our secret little hide away so it stays open for us, but the hosts and house are so amazing we had to leave a good review! 10/10!

Check in and communications with the host was amazing. We contacted the hosts a few times with questions and got super prompt responses. The house was so cute and spacious, the game parlor was an added fantastic value. The television package was also amazing, I was able to watch college football on a television while away from home, instead of just on my phone. The amenities offered exceeded all of our needs! We loved these hosts and the house and hope to stay again soon!Also, the general store down the way has wonderful breakfast biscuits. The milkshakes and ice cream were delicious as well! Worth the stop in, and only 2 doors down!

We had an amazing time with friends for my birthday weekend. Its close to the general store where my favorite ice cream is and we visited the lake for the day. The home was clean, comfy and loved the vintage decor! We have stayed in this home one other time a few years ago with family and enjoyed our second stay!

This was a great place to stay. Right nerxt to the general store so we could walk over to get the home made ice cream. Close to Tappan Lake so we could easily get to our family reunion which was held there. The house itself was so interesting.Really takes you back in time. We would definitely stay here again.

My wife and I spent a few nights here. We quickly realized this place is a life sized dollhouse. Very clean, very quiet, very restful.

The place was great we love the house. Only problem I seen was no TVs in the bedroom and could have better internet service. Other than that it was a great place. I think people would definitely pay a little more per night if you could get TVs in the rooms and a little better internet 💘

Well restored and maintained property. Perfect location (Watermelon Ice cream at the general store just steps away). Wonderful hot tub. If you're considering competing in the 2024 5-lakes Ultra Marathon you need to lock this up now. Thank you for a very pleasant stay.

This house has a lot of history and reminded me and my wife of our childhood. Very clean and organized! Appreciate the hosts for there efforts in making us welcome. We would recommend this location to anyone and would come back if the opportunity presents itself in the future. The only one negative thing we would say was that the showers did not have great water pressure. I would recommend the shower heads be replaced.
