    A group of local friends rented to have a place to gather and stay together. We had just what we needed and we're able to enjoy local restaurants and events.

    This property was a fun place to stay. Easy walking to restaurants, bars, and grocery store. And now we can say we have fallen asleep in a bar. Our only wish is to have some background on the bar…when/why did it close? What did it look like before the renevations?
