"Updated and spacious 4 bed home with 2 distinct family gathering spaces and a large kitchen w plenty of storage if you need to cook for a crowd. Loved the firm mattress for a great night’s sleep and 2 large baths. Appreciated the doggie box of extra supplies, if needed. Nice semi-private deck to enjoy good weather. Locally, this home is conveniently located near the Boone RR museum, Rail Explorers and Ledgers State Park. Check out the High Trestle Bridge in Madrid for an evening stroll. Shea &...
