had this to say:
We stayed at the Airbnb upstairs and enjoyed their Friday night buffet our first night in town. The staff was super helpful in recommending things to do in town and in the area. The room was EXTREMELY unique, the floors appear to be original, the porch is a delight to sit outside and watch a sunset! We stayed here and had tickets to Tim McGraw at the Field of Dreams and it was a convenient drive and great accommodations!
