Wonderful location

We enjoyed staying here as it was close enough to walk to downtown but far enough to be quiet at night. There are a few spots within a block or so that you can walk to for a quick bite or drink and hiwire allows dogs inside if you’re staying with your fur baby. Nice spacious house with ceiling fan above the bed. Would stay here again!

Cute little House

We are a family of three with two dogs. We are HUGE Dawson's Creek fans and that's what we did was all things Dawson's creek. The property was about 20 min leisurely walk to the riverwalk. So much easier to walk then drive due to the cost of parking. Town is very dog friendly. Many restaurants had outdoor seating and allowed dogs. We ate at Front Street Brewery, Kilwins for dessert and The George on the river. By the river there are nats so bring some bug spray. Overall the house was just what we needed and very accessible. A must stay!
