The owner was very knowledgeable on the history of the house and the surrounding area. We especially liked the story of Arthur Manby. A hike to the hot springs is a must. Ruby, the owner’s dog, is an absolute delight- she was our tour guide to the hot springs. ##### Sarah D. Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### kyle a.
