Delightful stay in convenient lication
This property is in town and walkable to shops, restaurants, and museums. The setting is lovely with the river flowing by the backyard. The kitchen is well equipped, There’s room for visiting, relaxing, dining, watching TV, listening to albums, and playing board games. The beds and furniture are comfortable. There’s even a game room. And the backyard has a grill and that relaxing view of the river. There’s fishing close, as well as the tram to Mount Howard. This house and the area have something for everyone!

Home away from home
We stayed a few days and it felt like home. Play room was bonus for noisy kids to play, nice backyard but lawncare was a little behind, kitchen well supplied, only one small tv, beds were comfy, plenty of towels. Great location for walking around town.

Has charm but needs TLC
Home has great location but feels like you are staying in a fixer upper instead of a vacation get away. Doors don't close properly. Mismatched light bulbs. Had wasps getting in upstairs. BBQ was filthy. Several code issues with washer/dryer in basement. Sorry can't recommend.

Excellent location
Great stay at the White House. It's an excellent location, walking distance to food & shopping. The lake & hiking trails are within biking distance. Communication with the owner was quick & ready. Very clean home. Be sure to check out the owners store 2 blocks down the street. You'll fall in love with the soap & lotion.

Jem of a place!
This home was just so fun! The details of this home really surprised me. From the antiques, (brave to have in a rental),books and feel of homie surroundings. The view was awesome! The game room would have been fun with a larger group but, we'll be back to enjoy. Fully stocked kitchen was so appreciated.
This home is quaint, and inspires a desire to just relax and take it all in.

Nice to stay in a beautiful part of the country
Great being right in town. Loved having the creek in the back, especially in the morning with coffee. Enjoyed separate living rooms to spread out. Nice having a washer and dryer. Only suggestions: the "game room" could use a refresh and the bathroom curtain needs to be thicker for more privacy from the lumberyard next door.
