Super cool house! We had a wonderful stay. For over 100 years old she got good bones. We never use our dining table at home but we had family dinner around the dining room table. It was just Casey’s pizza but family dinner nonetheless. Bed were comfortable. Just all around a very nice old house!

The front porch! Quiet neighborhood, and perfect spot for enjoying an early morning cup of coffee or an evening glass of wine. The property is very charming, and everything you need is there. It feels like home when you walk in. Thayer is a nice, very small community and essential stores are just down the street. The host is very responsive, and nearby in case you need something.

Robert was a most accommodating and gracious host. I thoroughly enjoyed staying in this lovely comfortable home away from home. I have relatives in the area and I have visited the area my whole life. It was so nice to be able to come there at the end of the day and feel so at home. Very clean and well kept older home. I highly recommend booking this home, if ever in the area. I look forward to knowing I have this option with my next visit. Sandie
