Perfect Little Getaway

James's home was the perfect little getaway for me, my husband, and our dog. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed being so close to downtown Dexter. There are pubs, shops, a bakery, and general stores within a 5-minute walk. James was an extremely thoughtful host and there were so many amenities to choose from. The home was clean, comfortable, and spacious. We would highly recommend James as a host and will definitely be back!
