The kitchen has a coffee pot for regular drip use, but also a Keurig feature. Nice dining table for eating and playing games. Just a few blocks to downtown shops and restaurants.

The interior is comfortable, pleasantly decorated, and the kitchen and bathrooms are very well equipped. In spite of well functioning Wi-Fi and tv systems, this is still a 140 year old house, with its character showing mostly on the exterior. Some minor mechanical problems were reported to the owner who responded immediately and had them quickly repaired. The sole downside to the house was an uncomfortably small shower stall in one of the bathrooms. Net: well recommended as a comfortable and convenient place to stay! ##### KIM W.

All of the character of an old home (with original features extraordinarily restored and maintained) with modern updates and comfort (appliances, beds, bathrooms, etc.) And not all the little separate rooms you see in a lot of older homes but very spacious. We stayed four nights over the weekend of our daughter's wedding that was held in town. The home became a part of our overall wedding experience and not just a place to stay. Time spent at the house making last minute arrangements and plans as well as special time preparing (bride/bridesmaid's hair, makeup and dressing along with pictures) has provided many great memories. It also provided a nice relaxing place to catch our breath and relax after all the excitement was over. We are already looking for another opportunity to stay at this great historic home.
