The space
This cozy and unique 1904 Victorian-Era cottage was specifically designed to provide a unique and unforgettable five-star experience. All "A Step Back Inn" brand of properties are re-imagined as a unique yet cozy elegant experience for our guests through a blend of modern unexpected conveniences and vintage charm, paying homage to the bygone era through carefully curated furnishings, décor and amenities.

This inviting property will comfortably accommodate 8 guests and features an impressive chef's kitchen, connected family and dining rooms, and three fashionably appointed bedrooms with queen beds.

All bedrooms feature sumptuous high-end linens, plus two full bathrooms + powder bath, with all-natural bath products. Heated tile floors in the primary bath add an additional touch of luxury. A comfortable queen pull-out sleeper sofa in the living makes a perfect spot for guests.

Roku TVs throughout all bedrooms and the main living room will keep you connected and entertained with live and streamed content.

The backyard patio is the perfect spot to enjoy a morning cup of coffee or evening cocktail around the covered patio table or adjacent lounge area.

MULTIPLE ADJACENT PROPERTIES CAN ACCOMMODATE YOUR LARGE FAMILY OR GROUP!

With the completion of this house, the same host can now accommodate even larger groups in multiple, nearly adjacent homes, all under the trusted "A Step Back Inn" brand when combined with our other adjacent or nearby historic renovated homes.
