Reviewed Jun 4, 2024The house is well appointed and homelike. The sun room, in particular, was a treat. And Lawrence itself is adorable! Highly recommend.
We unfortunately had a few issues with power, including the circuit breakers popping off, and for some reason the oven and stove top ceased working, which meant our planned meal didn't work out.
