10/10 Excellent
"Very nice, spacious room and bathroom. Close to town, could walk over to it. Loved the varied shops. Only slight negative, the water in the shower cycled from hot to cold which made for a quick shower! Easy in and out parking and a lovely sitting area outside."

10/10 Excellent
"What a great property! So convenient to Main Street! Communication with the host was easy, and she responded quickly. We would definitely stay here again. The WiFi sign up on the listing is different from the actual sign in, but we were able to connect quickly when we got in and got the correct sign in. Absolutely loved the gas fireplace on the porch- especially since it was rainy and chilly!"

10/10 Excellent
"The location cannot be beat! You're right next to the brewery and wine shop, plus there are so many restaurants and shops you can easily walk to. The front porch is great for relaxing and people watching. The unit was very clean and comfortable, and seems very new and updated. The bathrooms came stocked with shampoo/conditioner/body wash/soap/lotion, and the kitchen had the appropraite dishwashing and laundry supplies. The only negative is that there's a unit right next door, and it sounded like the people walking down their hallway were clomping down our hallway for hours at night when we were trying to sleep . So beware of this if you're a light sleeper. Otherwise, this is the perfect place to stay. It was me, my husband, and two kids, and this was the perfect setup for our family. Will be booking again (and in fact stayed on the other side last spring and loved it too)!"
