Schooner House was great!

Our group (a curling team of four adults) stayed for a week at Schooner House, and thoroughly enjoyed our time in this great space!Bedrooms are quiet, neighborhood is nice, and it’s easy to get nearly anywhere. Food and coffee options are plentiful, and I’m sure this place is hopping in the summer!Highly recommend!
