Beautiful, charming home with modern touches. Good location and home was equipped with everything we needed. Beds were very comfortable. Layout worked great for a multi-generational family of 5. Three bedrooms and one bathroom are located on top floor. The 2nd bathroom was in the basement, which wasn't ideal, but it's large and beaufully remodeled and we didn't mind walking down the two flights of stairs. Host was responsive. ##### Vanessa L.

We really enjoyed this property for our Christmas get-together. Very nice older home that has been well maintained. Beds were comfortable and the downstairs bathroom was perfect. The yoga room was a nice touch and was used as well. Very close to downtown and shopping and the large dining room table accommodated our family for meals and game playing. Host was very responsive to our questions as well. We would definitely recommend this home! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hannah O. 1 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful home Absolutely beautiful home- spacious, airy, tall ceilings. We had a wonderful stay. Very child friendly - stair gates, kiddy plates, books and games. That was such a thoughtful touch. Was wonderful to have such a great sized yard for the kids to play in. Location fabulous. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything you need for cooking family meals. Enormous washer and dryer in basement was very useful. From a small kids point of view the only extra thing that would have been amazing was black out drapes/ blinds in one of the bedrooms but we brought our own. Such a minor minor point and didn’t affect our stay at all just would have been the cherry on an already frosted cake! Thank you for letting us stay. We will definitely be back. ##### Hannah O.
