Beautiful family getaway
Great house with plenty of space for an extended family (3 generations)to spread out. The kitchen has everything you need for food prep and the spacious dining room made family meals easy. The coffee bar is an added bonus. Nice bathrooms, quality towels and linens. Bedrooms were lovely and slept well. The master and one other bedroom have TVs, and there are two other TVs on the main floor. Check in was effortless and the host is very responsive. We really enjoyed exploring Mt. Vernon's main Street. Highly recommend the Holiday House.

Beautiful home with charm
Beautiful decorated historic home with plenty of space for the family. Check in was a breeze, owner was extremely responsive with any questions and overall a very enjoyable visit. Layout is 4 beds upstairs with 1 bath and 1 full bath downstairs. Cute little sunroom coffee room off master bedroom. Coffee drinkers delight.
