Other things to note
This home was built in the 1700s and has all the charm (and quirks) of its age. The stairs to the second floor are steep but safe, and may not be ideal for those with mobility concerns or very young children. Upstairs, ceilings have unusual angles, some doorways are low, and floors may creak, but that’s part of the character! Anyone who loves historic charm and feeling like you're in your favorite storybook setting will feel right at home! Please consider these details before booking.
