The house is great for 9 people. It’s well appointed and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the charm of the house and area. The house is very updated but has the charm of a stately mansion.
We were in town for a wedding and stayed at the Ella Norah. What an amazing home! Every detail is perfect and well thought-out for beauty and comfort. The hosts could not have been more gracious or helpful. This is hands down the best place we have ever stayed and we hope to return one day.
My family stayed here for a family reunion. The house is even better than the pictures on VRBO. We've stayed in lots of VRBO's and this is right at the top. I literally have nothing negative to say, all positive. The house was clean, kitchen well stocked, everything worked (including the pool and hot tub), etc. Also, communications with the property manager was awesome. Response was usually within 8 hours of my question. If you're ever looking for a unique and awesome place to stay, this is it!
