We had a great stay and was helpful with early check in for naps after mystic aquarium. Had air mattress and darkening windows in upstairs room. Also found high chair, gates for the room / stairs, lots of books and even some paw patrol toys. Walking distance to shops and playground across bridge and great view when it goes up and down. Had short stay but definitely plan to visit again.

We stayed here for a birthday trip and it was such a special experience. The check in was a breeze and the host was very professional and kind. Everything was clean and the sheets and bedding were very nice and soft. The historic nature of the home was was made it the most special- we loved that it was kept intact and all the antique touches. It’s extremely close to the Main Street which is amazing- we could walk to the shops and restaurants easily and it’s still peaceful and quiet. A wonderful trip!

Not only perfect location, but perfect in every way. Second time at this location, but once again it checks all the boxes. Gerard was always available for questions, not that we had many as the house was fully equipped to suit all our needs and instruction manual was precise. Large rooms ,pristine environment with beautiful kitchen, fully stocked . We were fortunate to have amazing weather so the beautiful outdoor seating area provided many afternoons enjoying the sunshine and views of the water. The close proximity to most shops and restaurants left us doing little driving. Looking forward to our return visit
