Lovely, pet friendly historic house
My husband, sister, brother-in-law, myself and out two dogs stayed three nights during the Peter Anderson festival. We appreciated that the historic Ishee House was very well stocked in the kitchen and both bathrooms.
We called Dian when we had a problem with the tv and she was there in 10 minutes. Problem solved. Dian also gave us a wonderful oral history of the Turtle House, including how it got it’s name.
We also appreciated the ample outdoor space - a wraparound deck with tables and chairs, an outdoor shower, bar area, and fenced yard for the dogs. Our only recommendations would be to make the indoor steps between the rooms more visible, as they are dark, different heights and different depths, which is a safety concern for those with balance and/or vision issues. Maybe safety tape or create a pattern with paint or tile? The other would be to make the outdoor area even more attractive with a good power washing. We did appreciate that there was a long hose that we used to wash the deck and had there been a leaf blower (we stayed in the fall) we would have happily used it to blow leaves off of the deck.
The bunk room is small with no hanging space but there is a long hanging rod in the laundry area off of the larger bedroom. We appreciated that and the several hangers there.
We had a lovely stay and noted that the house was only about two miles to the festival, making that an easy bike ride. I actually walked home one evening from the festival.
