8 / 10Excellent·Aug 2026
This was a great stay for a family reunion. Lots of spaces for folks to gather and still have their own space, and the owner was very responsive to any outreach. It is an older historic home, with all the old-home feeling that goes with it - we found it charming, but be prepared for a few

This house had several good things about it…..but it had several bad things as well. I’m not sure which out weighed the other! For the good….the house is roomy for a big party. It has a very nice large room with a nice amount of setting space for a gathering room…..it has a large dining room……the outdoor space in the back is really great with lots of room for kids to run and play or for adults to just sit around and talk…it is a fun house to explore with all of its idiosyncrasies. Now for the not so good…most of the beds are very uncomfortable!! Several of the beds are not conducive for adults to sleep in….at least not for adults over 30. The house is very old and it definitely smells it!!! It is musty smelling and there was an old urine smell in the room my husband and I stayed in. The grounds were very unkept….grass was high and just did not represent well. The cushions to the outdoor furniture in the front yard need to be thrown away…..they are nasty. We only rented for 1 night so we all sucked it up and made it work but no way would we have stayed longer with the smell and the bed situation. We did not complain to the owner…. After arriving there it was too late to do anything different and we didn’t figure there was much that could have been done to help at that point. I will say the owner was very good at responding to me prior to arriving with questions I had.
