Aside from the wonderful communication with a most thoughtful host, this little house is absolutely charming!! We were enamored with everything! The clawfoot tub, the fireplaces, the kitchen and dishes! Wonderful porch to sit on, and cute backyard. Very cozy living area. We will definitely be going back to this house!

Ethyl's Place is a cozy, vintage, small-town dream! If you choose to stay here make sure you read Deb's renovation story paired with the picture album of her journey; it's gives you invaluable insight and appreciation for the home! Deb left us (and our dogs) goodies and had everything else well stocked :)

Very easy to get to. Loved all the antique furniture & nostalgic decorations for the Christmas holiday. Kitchen was very roomy , but would’ve been nice a slightly larger convection/toaster oven to cook our breakfast casserole in.
