Wonderful home in a sweet village

This is a great property and the house is an historic home that is well cared for and has all types of large and small touches that show the owner cares about the experience. The town of Elizabeth offers places to eat, a brewery, and quaint shops. Close to Galena without all the crowds. A picturesque area. The host was incredibly responsive to any questions and has a deep knowledge of the community and what it offers.

I feel it should say that it is not handicap accessible.

Comods way to low for Seniors. Rugs are very easy to trip on, and need handbars in shower. We had family there and a couple were in 80’s. Had a great time but really had to be very careful. Thank you,

Heat

Friday night was a little cold. It would of been better to have received text back on heat issue as I did not get email until Sunday on someone coming to look at heat concern, and we were not aware there was going to be someone in house on Saturday when we were not there.
