This house has so many amazing features and has all original woodwork, beautiful stained glass, fireplaces, lighting that has been converted to electric but the gas light chandeliers still are original and beautiful! The hosts are so very welcoming and very accommodating. It was a great experience and nice to get away from the typical hotel stay!

It is a cool old house in a dramatic state of disrepair; tattered linens, stained carpets, roof panels missing. Towels were stained. The owners are very nice but I would not stay again.

Loved the inside decor. The beautiful wall coverings are nearly 90 percent original. The owners David and Michelle told us they are only the second family to own the property in over 100 years. They truly pampered us with a wonderful breakfast and gave us the full tour when we arrived. We loved it.

Thank you!

We stayed for a few days at Richard's House. We enjoyed our stay very much, the breakfast was vast and delicious. The owners are very friendly. We stayed in the bedroom that you can see in the photograph, it is large and very comfortable with a very nice bathroom. I highly recommend the place. It was cost effective!
