We had such an excellent experience at the August House, we didn't want to leave. The House is gorgeous, and the rooms are comfortable and beautifully decorated. You can tell a lot of heart, soul, and thought went into making every detail perfect. The breakfast was delicious and the staff were all so kind and happy to chat with us. We would definitely recommend The August House, it's a gem!
