Custom granite countertops and cabinets with glass-paneled doors enhance the kitchen's elegance.

The bedroom offers a custom walk-in closet and double French doors that open onto a small deck, leading to a shaded courtyard. The bathroom features a custom corner vanity and a large walk-in shower with exquisite tile work.

This historic one-bedroom, one-bathroom home has been fully renovated, retaining its original charm while incorporating modern conveniences. Built in 1860, this yellow home is an iconic gem in the historic district and is conveniently located within walking distance of all downtown attractions!

Nice cottage

The space of the house was set up nicely to accommodate a living room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and laundry room which all felt spacious. We felt comfortable for our stay, and were pleased by how well the kitchen was set up. Would definitely recommend, and would stay again. The only downside is the tight awkward parking spot, which is near the cottage, and a challenge for parking a pickup truck.

Charming!

Stayed here on a quick 3 day visit and if we come back to St. A again, this is where I would stay every time.The place is perfect for 2, and so charming. Great bed, fabulous kitchen, which we didn't use, and walkable to everything. Very quiet neighborhood. Highly recommend!
