Absolutely enchanting! Staying at the 1890 Freeman house was like stepping back in time, but with all the modern comforts. ✨ The architecture is stunning, and the entire place was sparkling clean and impeccably organized. I especially adored the coffee station – a perfect way to start a peaceful morning on a quiet street. The bed was incredibly comfy, and I could tell every detail was thoughtfully curated, right down to the gorgeous clawfoot tub in the bathroom! The water pressure was fantastic, too. This stay was a dream come true, and I'm already planning my next visit.
