Girls getaway

This was a great place to stay! Very accommodating for all of us. The only thing I have to complain about is the couch in the front room. Very uncomfortable and not enough room for all of us. Otherwise it was very clean and convenient to most places.

Friends’ weekend in Grafton!

Great property! Perfect size for our group of ten! Bit of an odd layout but I just think that’s how older houses are. Right in the middle of Grafton. We walked everywhere. Loved the courtyard and fire pit. Would definitely stay again!
