This lovely home was clean comfortable and delightful. The gardens were spectacular and the setting on the banks of the Boyne River was picture perfect.
Oh this was such a cozy home. We loved the attention to details. The host made sure we had everything we needed. For context, I traveled with my 2 children ages 9 & 10 my mother age 74 and my husband. We cooked, watched movies in the sitting room and walked to shopping at the little sundry shop just down the street. It’s a truly beautiful home, you won’t be disappointed. We walked along the river in the backyard. It was far enough from the house to feel comfortable with the kids going outside. There are 2. Bikes in the garage and you just 2 blocks from the lake. It was absolutely worth every penny.

The house is a beyond perfect historical home with all the charm but coupled with updates that make your stay comfortable. The location is absolutely perfect with walking distance to shops and restaurants. The owners and property managers are wonderful people that genuinely care about your trip, your family and their town.
