"If possible I would give this rental 10 star. It was by far the "best" VRBO we have ever stayed in, and we've stayed a lot of places! Not only is the space everything stated and then some, the little town is one of the friendliest also. From great places to eat, cute shops,and a wonderful farmers market on Saturday. Would be well worth a trip for a great get away! Thanks to the host for creating such a special environment blending the 100 year old building with all the modern conveniences."
