Summary: A Truly Stunning Stay!We had the most wonderful time at this beautiful farmhouse. Every detail was thoughtfully curated — the finishes throughout the home were gorgeous, and the decor looked professionally done. (Rumor has it Anne, the owner, did it all herself — and if that’s true, she’s incredibly talented!)The flower planters lining the front porch were such a lovely welcome, and the luxury touches continued inside — plush towels, fresh pastries upon arrival, and even a fan in the master bedroom (a must-have for light sleepers like me!).One of the highlights was watching deer just 10 feet from the back door every evening — it was magical. During a stroll through town, we met Dan, who was incredibly friendly and gave us great tips on local spots.Everything about our stay was perfect. We will absolutely be back!

Summary: We loved the house! It was so cozy and comfortable for our family and we were sad to leave it! Beautifully decorated and tastefully updated. It was nice to have the private dock with kayaks and SUP to use when we just wanted to stay around the area too. Quick walk to bars and restaurants in town, but fully stocked kitchen for preparing and eating in. Thank you for a great week Anne and Dave!
