Lovely Clean Upper Apartment
Spotless, wonderful location close to town with several restaurants. Only negative is that it is on upper floor of duplex (Owner below) and there is a long staircase. One of the two bathrooms has a miniature size pedestal sink which is hard to use, but the second bath is nice. Had food and beverages included in refrigerator. That was especially appreciated. Kitchen is very pretty with beautiful cabinets and counters. Beds comfortable, nice linens.Would definitely stay there again

This was a great property- within walking distance of downtown Afton and close to the park. The host really spent time on the details and had so many little amenities that made it feel like such a treat to stay there. Highly recommend!

Beautifully decorated carriage house! Kitchen with all kinds of small appliances and wonderful dishes. Refrigerator was stocked with various kinds of water and juice, breakfast goodies and even eggs and butter! Tea, coffee, hot chocolate in a variety of flavors. Soft luxurious towels and pillows. Easy check in and out. It is on the upper level, but the stairs are wide and easy to use. Kathy has thought of everything! Loved our stay!
