I love the character in little old houses, and this one did not disappoint! Despite the age of the house, it is clearly well maintained and updates have been done to make it a comfortable place to stay. We appreciated all the little items provided, like soap, toiletries, bottled water, and k cups for the coffee pot. The bed was extremely comfortable and the heat was able to keep up with the chilly nights and keep us warm and toasty. There was plenty of space for our dogs as well, and k appreciated that the house didn’t have a lot of knick knacks or “extras” that we would have worried about the dogs knocking over or getting into. I will say, I didn’t realize just how close to the main house the carriage house is located. It does feel strange pulling into the driveway so close to the main house, but it really never ended up being a big deal. We would definitely stay here again! ##### Jill E. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Beth K. 23 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location Best thing for us was the location near our son's house. It has a let of stairs leading up that I had asked about beforehand but never heard back. It feels like a tree house, with lots of windows and trees. Very comfortable bed although I would have preferred a king. Suggestions for owner: coffee mugs - there was one huge one and then 4 tiny ones. Provide a few 12 to 16 oz. The water pressure was pretty bad and it was hard to figure our the hot water in the shower. I could not see the mirror over the bathroom sink (it was too high) and there is not another mirror in the whole place. The charging ports in the lamps was a great idea. Will definitely stay here again. ##### Beth K.
