My husband and I booked the Ainsworth House for a short getaway trip and it was so incredibly charming and wonderful and, if ever in town again, we would probably stay here. We were so close to town that we walked everywhere, and with a kwiktrip so close by, we went out for some late night snacks which was just fun. The host was incredibly nice, responsive, and helpful leading up to and during our stay. We had some issues with power due to over-running the a/c and fans in the crazy heat, but the host was very quick to respond and helped us resolve the issue within the hour.
