Summary: We loved everything about this home. The inside is immaculate with lots of natural light streaming in through the windows. The kitchen is well equipped; coffee and tea are provided. We spent lots of time outdoors on the back deck which was shaded. We'd highly recommend the coffee shop, located just two doors down on W Center St, which also sells art and apparel by founder and owner, Rae Lang. Also, don't miss stopping by Root Beer Barrel! You've never had a better hotdog and the root beer floats are not to be missed. If we ever revisit the area, we'll definitely check to see if this house if available.
