Perfect location and I loved the fact that there was no smart tv to distract the children. We enjoyed the grounds and how well the family has preserved their historic home.

Great location just walking distance from Main Street
Great location just walking distance from Main Street
The property was very nice on approx 2 acres. It is an older home but it was well kept and in my opinion very cozy and laid back. My only problem was that the property manager did not return my calls or email regarding how to check in. I literally had to make four separate attempts to finally get some information on where to pick up keys. So property good! Location great! Management company, meh at best. A communication in advance of arrival is pretty standard in my vrbo experience so this was definitely not the norm

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House is a historic gem, in a quiet neighborhood, walking distance to downtown. With all the appointments of a legacy home, I highly recommend this property. Property is large and well separated from neighbors. Kitchen is very well appointed, though dish washer was broke on our visit but didn't hinder our stay at all. Our visit was during October and the cool weather didn't require us to use the a/c, so we can't comment on that though the heaters worked great in the evening.
