We visited for one night to attend a family event at a nearby venue.
The house is large and has basic amenities.

Nice place to stay
Was in town for a wedding, acknowledged by the host which was nice. Host easy to reach and worked with me on several things. The place is 2.5 levels with plenty of bedding and unique rooms. We really wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the quaint town. Everything you need within walking distance and a river walk nearby. The townsfolk were quite kind and helpful too.
A word of warning: this place is not (yet) handicapp accessible. All bathrooms require stairs to access. Also, be careful to access the back driveway coming from Main St. lest you come from the sharper angle and strike a rock lining the short driveway like I did in my van. I guess a small car or SUV would have no issue.
All in all, my family and I loved and appreciated the stay. We had as many as 12 guests (not all sleeping overnight) at once and it never felt crowded.
Thank you host!
