This home is all one floor and features an enclosed backyard, perfect for history buffs visiting with their families.

    Absolutely loved staying here! The fact that it is a historical home makes the stay so special. The rooms are large and pair well with the history of the house. The pool is a great bonus, but there are no rails or anything to assist with getting in and out. I know the house is old, but the stairs leading to the house are extremely worn. The wood is rotted and the one of the hand rails was about to collapse. Regardless of all that, we had a great time and would love to visit again.

    This home was large enough for two families and only a few blocks from the water and quaint shopping. Beds are comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

    Very roomy for three families. Period furnishings were fun. Very clean and well stocked kitchen. A few areas were in need of replacement or repair, otherwise would be 5 stars.
