We had a nice stay at the Wisteria Inn. It is a spacious home, and we appreciated its historic charm. The owner/manager was responsive, and we did not have any significant issues with the property during our stay. The configuration of the bedrooms is non-standard, but not an issue for us as we only needed to use 3 of them.

Great stay in a historic home

We had a great stay at this house while in town to celebrate our aunt's 90th birthday. The property was big enough to accommodate our 16 family members and we loved the historic charm. The busy road was a bit noisy but overall we had a wonderful time - thank you Vicki for a great experience!

This house is INCREDIBLE!! The decor is wonderfully whimsical and every room has beautiful character. The enormous fireplace was wonderful to warm up the bottom floor and the kitchen had everything we needed for a private chef to make an amazing 4 course meal for the guests. The house is very clean and the check in and check out process couldn’t have been easier. Our party suggested we make this a yearly get together at this same house. Vicki was a great host and always responded to my questions quickly. This is a superb property for hosting an event or just relaxing for a vacation.

Have your next family gathering here!

This property is perfect for a large gathering. The grounds are lovely. We enjoyed the patio and the fire pit. There is plenty of room to spread out. Inside is charming and well-equipped. There are some nice touches - plenty of nightlights to show the way to the bathroom at night, lots of spices available in the kitchen. There were no clear instructions on check-out procedures and the host did not respond to my message asking about it. I would highly recommend this place.

We has a fantastic stay at this beautiful historic lodge. The property is rich with character and charm offering a peaceful and inspiring setting that made our visit truly remarkable.The highlight for us was how spacious the house is with a first rate kitchen well-equiped for hosting large meals. The bedrooms are all very comfortable, and while only one was on the first floor, the layout worked well for our family. There are two dining areas and a cozy, inviting living room that made it easy to spend time together. As an added bonus there is a game room with pool, air hockey and other games. All in all, this is a wonderful venue for families, group gatherings, or small events. Would recommend to anyone looking to host a special occasion.
