Cute house near the square

My family and I stayed at this house for a weekend getaway and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. The house is nicely updated, the backyard is enclosed with a privacy fence, and the location is walking distance from the square. We would stay here again.

Great house and Host

This is a great home and even better host! We originally had one of their other homes but due to an unwanted pest they moved us to a larger home without charging us anything else. Everything was perfect and we were able to enjoy our 50th High School Reunion. Thanks for a wonderful weekend Tom & Stacy Riley

Close to town

Adorable remodeled house close to the square. Pet friendly with huge backyard for our sweet girl. We would’ve loved to stay longer and utilize the game room and deck for grilling. The road in front is a little busy but didn’t hinder us from going in and out. We would definitely stay here again!
