Summary: The Old Police House could not be any nicer! We stayed October 12th - 15th, 2025 in this large property. Everything about the house is exceptional. Susan, the host, goes above and beyond to make everything perfect for her guests to have a comfortable and enjoyable stay. She thinks of every detail. This is the most beautiful and well done house we have every stayed in on vacation. Susan is so friendly and very accessible should you have any questions. The house is spotless and every amenity you would need is provided. We were just amazed at this beautiful house and all the little details that make it so special. Beautiful bathrooms and the beds are so comfortable! We all slept very well. You cannot go wrong staying at this house. It was a perfect place for our family to relax, have fun and cook delicious meals after each day of sightseeing.
