As we look forward to our next stay here, I hesitantly say....What a gem! The property is perfectly located to the downtown area, everything is in walking distance and the property as exactly as described and even more charming in person. We especially loved the porch and perfect spot to relax and unwind and watch the world go by! The home was spotless, the beds were comfortable and the communication with the host was excellent throughout our stay. You can tell the hosts put a lot of thought into making their guests feel welcome. A five star experience!

The Flowers House was the best All the amenities anyone could ask for and more. Clean, parking was prefect, beds were comfortable. They thought of everything. So close to everything, we never drove to anything. It was a perfect house for a group of 70 year old ladies to have fun..
