Quaint Retreat

Very cute and comfy house! Had everything we could want/need available in the home. Close to pretty much anything and everything. Very quiet area aside from the train- We love the train sounds so not a concern for us. Several local restaurants and a cafe are within walking distance. The yard is large and the deck is wonderful to relax on.
