Our house is located in a vibrant, historic area with a lot of character.

    Nice and tucked back in corner lot. Patricia had everything for morning coffee. Which was wonderful.. Upstairs and downstairs. So if someone had problems with stairs would not recommend. But otherwise perfect…

    The inside of this place was very clean, neat and well stocked. We had a very comfortable stay but I want people to know that the neighborhood is so-so. The good news is that it is right across from the police station, but also next door to an abandoned building and the house in front of this cottage had bats flying in and out. The other thing some folks would want to know is that there are two bathrooms but they are both upstairs - steep, wooden stairs. Anyone with mobility issues might find this a problem. All in all, we had a good stay, I just want people to know about these issues. PS While the immediate neighborhood isn't great, it very quickly gets better and is very convenient to the main town center - very easy to walk, and we never felt uncomfortable.

    Nice place, good location, walkability, and had all that we needed. FYI- if you have bad knees or mobility issues the steps are steep and both bathrooms are on 2nd floor. All-in-all great place. Would recommend.

    We were able to work to town to take the Trolley Tour, to go shopping, and to go to dinner. House was clean. Used the grill outside on the patio and ate our dinner there as well.
