Great location if you are going to stay downtown, it’s an easy walk to restaurants and tasting rooms. Just be aware this is an older town and there are not sidewalks on much of the roads. This also makes it not as conducive for walking pets however there is a great dog park 10 minute drive from location. Property very clean and nice landscaping but not gated backyard for a dog.
