Such a beautiful home. Sad we didn't get to spend more time there. Had everything you need. Thankfulfor the toothbrushes and toothpaste since we forgot ours! It's an old house but well maintained. The stairs were a little rough for me because i had a knee replaced recently, but other than that I have NO complaints. You just need to be aware of the stairs and be able to go up and down them. Will definitely come back next time I need a place for my entire family in that area. I included a pic of the sunrise this morning after a fresh snow last night. Absolutely stunning.
