A Great Place to Stay!

We were here for just one overnight. We found our stay to be very comfortable, in a quiet neighborhood, with plenty of room. We would stay at this home again if we were in the area.

Comfy 1926 Craftsman.

This house is so sweet but yet has plenty of room for guests. It has everything you need to spend a few days. It’s close enough to several towns with historic main streets, restaurants and antiques. We stayed I January but summer would offer even more things to do and enjoy.

101 Birthday party

We had a wonderful stay at the 1896 guest house. It was a perfect landing spot after a couple full days of activities for my aunt’s 101st birthday. The house is so cozy and comfortable. It had everything we needed and more!
