The Ann Stevens House

The place is not like the picture. Exterior needs a total overhaul, paint, porches etc. The interior first floor is totally restored with antique furniture. Our host, Emily, gave us an historical summary of the property and they had purchased it after it was vacant for years and looted. They did a lot of work and have a modern kitchen, but no breakfast due to covid. LOL Obvious a labor/cost saving move. We did not stay in the main building but inn the carriage house in the back. It was clean and lovely but the huge staircase in then main building was just not what we wanted to climb. We were satisfied but disappointed that there was no guest mingling at a nice breakfast. There was a screened porch off our room so we decided to have a relaxing glass of wine and enjoy the quiet of the nature preserve....until the landscapers came through with the mowers, edgers, and leaf blowers for the next two hours. These grounds are not well groomed and the ruts from the road through the driveway caused the car, and SUV, to bottom out and drag. There's a difference between rustic and unsatisfactory. Its 6-10 miles to food or any shopping. Pass this one up.

The room was beautiful and the screened porch was an added bonus! I loved the property! The staff was so kind and informative. Close to town, trail and parks. I will definitely be going back, met great people during our stay also.
