Family Funeral
Our grandparents are interned at the Old Trinity Church in Woolford. When our mother passed away we decided to lay her to rest there also. I looked for a place that the 5 of us would be comfortable. I was not disappointed. The condo was beautiful. We had all the creature comforts of home. Beds were comfortable, place was clean and parking was perfect. We will definitely use this place again.

The Drinking Gourd was clean, cozy and attractive. In spite of its central location, it was quiet. We would stay there again!

Third floor walk up that makes quite an impression when you open the door. Very high ceilings in an open concept living space which makes it feel so grand when in it. The massive doors have stunning brass fittings and trim which I have never seen before. The kitchen is spacious and well appointed. The beds comfy Towels fresh and soft. Massive windows add to the openness of the space. Everything is walking distance to the charming town center. Parking is included. We would definitely book again if the opportunity arises. This time we were in for a wedding and it was perfect for that
