This property features several very old homes which have been maintained in excellent condition. The room we had was clean and spacious, and it had all the necessary items like shampoo, soaps, and so forth. The owner greeted us in person was very pleasant and enjoyable to talk with breakfast was in a lovely room and food was excellent. We would definitely go back again. The on-site parking lot was very much appreciated.
