Beautiful, historic home. My family said it was like going to Williamsburg, VA on a tour but you get to stay in the place. It had modern conveniences while keeping a lot of the historic value and charm. The smell of the smoke as mentioned exists, but it isn’t bad at all and using the hearth fireplace increased the ambience. There was also concern of the hot water, but this family of 10 people never ran out of hot water and all were able to shower. Otherwise, the place was perfect for our family reunion and everyone loved the home.
