Great local place in downtown. Cute, spacious home perfect for family and friends. We had a small snafu with a leaky toilet which the owner tried to get a plumber on a holiday weekend. No easy task, but he showed up and our celebration weekend was wonderful. I would stay here again. House has all you need for an extended stay in The Greatest Small Town! ##### Diana H.

There was a yard for our littles to run around and play horseshoes, enough seats on the porch for all 10 of us,. comfortable beds! Everything we needed. A very cozy stay. Costco and Walmart delivered groceries to this address which made things convenient. We enjoyed the upstairs piano and the desks for studying while we were traveling. Very family friendly!!
