The backyard was tiny but perfect--we could hear the church hymns at 25 minutes past the hour during the day and sit outside for meals. Bedrooms/Bathrooms were so comfy with high end sheets and towels. The location had advantages to explore the town shops and restaurants as well as walking trails with town history close by. ##### Mary H.
