Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Great little place for our weekend away for our anniversary. Quaint & charming! The school house history was an added bonus to our stay. Loved the country setting but close enough to the local towns so we could antique shop together. We would definitely recommend if your passing through the area or nearby to forgo the hotel and stay here instead.
