Very clean, wonderful host, would recommend
This place is beautiful. We have stayed at many places in Darlington and this is definitely one I would recommend. Sometimes so let's keep it going and make everyday special. I guess if I had to give any kind of suggestions I would say electricity in the bedrooms is a minor inconvenience. Window coverings would be great and It may get hot in the hotter months. Other than that it is perfect. These things wouldn't discourage me from going back for sure. The host even gave us some maple syrup to enjoy. Thanks again!!

Welcoming, clean, and organized!!
This rental is my new favorite! The property is very private, but yet not far from many restaurants and shops. Everything you need is in the home, and the personal touches are just great…as treats are provided that reflect on the history of the home. The owners have put so much time and effort into providing a beautiful, clean and organized home. And they have provided information about things to do and places to eat and shop in the area. I am excited to stay here again when I am in the area!

Cute house! Needed to add more to the discrption of property
Cute place, well decorated. Stay was great. Couple things to be aware about.... No outlets upstairs in the bedrooms. They do provide a charging station outside of bathroom. No fans! They have 1 small window unit upstairs in 1 bedroom to cool the upstairs. This would not be good in very hot months. Bring fans! 1 unit downstairs, but its old. It works however made a really loud noise if it was over working. 9 people could stay however, only 1 shower to share. The bathroom door wouldn't shut. Has to be pulled up on to get it to shut. The property didnt state that there was a grill, but there was a brand new one which was nice! No curtain on any windows upstairs or downstairs nor blinds except for laundry room. Price was right, would go again if the simple things would be updated.
