Dawson House is a well constructed home with much attention to detail and it is as nice as the pictures advertising it. The well equipped kitchen is a joy for cooking. The bathrooms are warm and well appointed. The beds are comfy. The lighting throughout the home is terrific!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was my 6th year in the Dawson House. I was the first person to rent this when it was first remodeled, It is a very easy to get any where in town and you do not have to drive any where if you do not want too. It is very nice on the inside, but it has 17 steps to gt to the bedrooms up stairs. Not bad though.
