The Old Campbell Farm - a charming slice of 1884 history with a modern twist
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (44)
"The house was clean and a good value but expected more. There was not a tv in the Main bedroom which we are used to seeing and would have been helpful since the living room furniture was not particularly cozy or relaxing. I realized there was no hot tub but did not realize there was just a stand-up shower in the bathroom and a very small one."
