Thanksgiving 2023

This was a perfect location for our stay near our daughter’s farm for the holiday. The host was very responsive. Being close to the General Store rescued us several times. We would consider coming back.

Perfect location, just what I needed

I really enjoyed my time here. Except for a little lock combo snafu at the outset, it was everything I could have hoped for. The little town is cute, I was there for a class at the Folk School and was so close I could walk. Everything was comfortable. Directions were great. The hosts were very accessible and helpful. Enjoyed exploring the area. Will definitely return!

Great Experience

I came here for a quick personal getaway and it was exactly what I was looking for- charming, unique, comfortable, clean and the perfect location. It is a great spot because not a lot of preparation is necessary to stay here. The kitchen is well equipped, the bed is comfortable, and there is a general store a block away with everything you'd need; also a coffee shop and other restaurants. I also went for a hike at William O'brien State park just a few minutes away. The house is super unique and the location doesn't get much better- small town feel in the beautiful historic river valley. Highly recommend.

Cute town

The furniture in place was very uncomfortable. It needs updating, more care, and repairs. Our door was hard to open and there were several trip hazards on the property. If you are just staying a night or two, it's probably tolerable. It did teach me to do more research before signing. We would have left after the first week.
