Wonderful old 1906 house. Lots of antiques and so comfortable. Our hosts were charming and explained the history of the place and also gave us a tour of the yard, where the kayaks and boats were, the firepit and the many birds in the yard. Wish we could have stayed many days longer. Thank you for a wonderful stay......

We had the most peaceful and relaxing stay at this beautifully and lovingly maintained property. Faye and Don were incredibly warm and friendly hosts, and provided us with some fascinating history of the area and home, as well as great tips on where to sightsee. Everything was so cozy and comfortable, and the setting is absolutely picturesque and gorgeous everywhere you look. This is truly a gem of a place and we both can't wait to come back again for another visit, for a longer period of time!
