You can easily walk to the main street shops and restaurants including the brewery, plus the vintage trains, lighthouse, etc. Walking the other way (a bit further) gets you to the DQ, coffee, more restaurants.
House was quite nice and well-equipped. E.g. coffee pods and small snacks, paper towels, fluffy bath towels, dishes. There were some notes about the heat system but we didn't touch it and it was fine the whole time as it was. Quiet neighborhood. Lots of Hallowe'en decorations when we were there which was fun.
