Perfect

We stayed at this home as our daughter was receiving her Masters degree from St Bonaventure. It was easy to get there. The home was perfect for my mom who needed a first floor bed and bath. This Victorian home was filled with charm and so close to the village. We absolutely loved it and would stay here again.

Family Ski Weekend

We loved this house. It is huge with plenty of room for everyone to feel comfortable and have their own space. The ping pong table and other games kept the teenagers entertained. The house is so close to everything. We walked everywhere. Shopping, restaurants, bars, winery and the salt cave are just a short walk away. We would definitely stay again.entertained.
