How is in a great location, well appointed, and well maintained. Owner was responsive. Would definitely stay again.
We loved Opal House! Tons of historic charm with modern kitchen. Only 2.5 blocks from the main street. Communication with owner was great.

We loved staying at Opal house. It is cozy, spotlessly clean, and had a well equipped kitchen. We were able to walk all around town. Such a good place to stay.
