“I had an amazing experience renting The John Brown House. The owners themselves are extremely kind and helpful. They really go above and beyond for their renters and guests to enjoy themselves. The property itself is lovely. An absolutely beautiful home that I can tell the owners took great time renovating and paying close attention to details. It took my breath away when I entered the home and saw the rich history of the house combined with the modern necessities. I will continue recommending this property to anyone I meet for a nice stay or hosting an event.”
