I couldn't believe we got to stay there - it felt like sleeping in a museum with the original wood and brick walls and shutters and doors. I'll be honest, it was a little spooky arriving on a dark and gusty night and having the power be out in the front half of the house, but Stephan called me back quickly and patiently walked us through getting to the breaker box and resetting it. In retrospect it was our own accidental ghost tour and a good story. For how old the house is, it is very comfortable to stay in, even with an elder and a teenager, with very good central temperature control, plenty of hot water, great kitchen, fantastic book collection and decor - a place you want to live. Plus being in a very central location that's also on the Royal Carriage tour route and having a parking permit makes you feel like a very hip tourist indeed. A unique and beautiful stay.
