Review Score:   8
Summary: Spacious home with antique and train-themed decor. Communication with host was timely and we were able to arrange early check-in. Living room AC kept us cool! Train themed wall in dining room is very cool, and the huge dining table had plenty of room to spread out. Wish we could have seen the suspended train run but it was apparently off its track. Comfortable beds, all 3 bedrooms are upstairs along with the bathroom. Bedside tables would be helpful in the main bedroom along with a bench or luggage rack to keep bags off the floor. Also switches on the bedside lighting would be great to turn lamps on / off (vs plugging & unplugging). Bathroom walls, door and molding could use a deep clean or fresh coat of paint. Nice touches for our 4-legged family member include fenced backyard, water and food bowls and a dog bed. Additionally, the separate mudroom / entryway with lots of hooks, a bench and place to drop shoes were very helpful.
