the house is situated in the Grate Swamp area, near the train station and the train lines. It has a rustic feel. I could spot deer, wild turkey and other animals running around. While I lived there, in the spring, we had a nice community of visiting PhD students and professors there. Some of us were riding the bikes to the university that our hosts generously provided to us. in the summer though, I guess, the house will be occupied by people who want some vacation. Em and Chas are very friendly and helpful. One note, don't forget to get your code to the door besides the keys.
