"We have stayed in a number of VRBO homes throughout the years and I can tell you that this was the best of them all. From the beautiful house itself to the tour provided by Mr. Federal, this is definitely a place worth staying" - David M.
Do yourself a favor and book this place!
"Our family of five LOVED this home! As soon as you arrive, the owners make you feel at home and give you the history of this historic place. Mr. and Mrs. Federal were so helpful and welcoming throughout our stay and all the amenities they provided were top notch. We had so much fun with the 1929 Ford Model A, the golf cart, bikes, and so many other items provided as part of our stay." - Holly F.
Amazing Hosts and One of a Kind Vacation!
