Absolutely great place to stay

Fantastic hosts and place to stay. Loved this house in the town of Troy. Took the dogs for a walk in the town square closeby. Sparkling clean classically appointed decor. Well stocked kitchen and we will be back next year on our annual trip. It was a gem of a find!

We enjoyed the stay, but left a day early because a very bad storm was predicted. No basement or storm shelter listed, no garage for car. Hope to come again next year for planning ministry retreat. Everything was great. Loved the homey atmosphere.
