"Loved our two night stay! House was beautifully restored and a great location a few blocks from State street. The bed was amazingly comfortable. Bathroom was beautiful with a nice shower. Back yard was nice to come back after walking around town all day and enjoy a glass of wine, which they gave us a complimentary bottle. Check in/out was easy. Would highly recommend. "
