ABOUT THE HOUSE
This stunning 4000sf historic home has been lovingly maintained and updated. Huge rooms, original windows and wood work, three floors to spread out in and a plethora of amenities make it a true home-away-from-home for groups and families alike. Beautiful yard and gardens, open front porch, enormous rear deck, stream, camper and play area in the back yard, make outdoor time and enjoyable as the indoors.
A note to those of us who have sensitive noses: I never allow smoking of any kind in my home, I clean with perfume-free and low-odor cleaners, use perfume-free laundry detergent, and silver-ions (odor-free, long-lasting anti-mircobial) on all kitchen and bathroom surfaces after cleaning. I also have a 1-day "buffer" between guest stays as an extra safety measure.
