A very nice historic place filled with antiques, but comfortable nonetheless. Modern appliances in great condition. Wonderful location, not far from downtown Milton.

The house was fantastic and met the owners father while staying in the home. I had several problems with the VRBO site - I was given a link and it kept taking me back to the VRBO site - never did get that resolved. Also did not like that I had to put up 1k hold on my card. I’ve rented many places and have never had that request before.
