Great location, safe, spacious.
Everything we needed was provided. This reminded me of staying in my grandmother's house and I felt comfortable and it brought back memories of those days!! It's a feeling newness and perfection cannot bring!! Coffee on the sunporch is better than any 5 star hotel I've been to. You won't regret staying here. We hope to stay again.

Adorable property and kind hosts!
This property couldn’t be cuter and is as darling as it looks in the pictures! I stayed here for two weeks while in town for a horse show, and thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Mark greeted me upon arrival to show me around - he was SO warm and friendly. The banana bread which greeted me as well ;-) was beyond delicious! I definitely recommend staying here if you have the opportunity!
