Minnehaha

Full Description

DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION

Originally a substantial granite-built guest house, Smugglers Ride was converted into apartments in the late 1980’s. The property occupies an enviable position fronting Town Beach, centrally located within Hugh Town, the “capital” of St Mary’s, and therefore close to all the shops, restaurants, banks, Post Office, harbour and other amenities on offer.

Minnehaha is situated on the upper ground floor of the building. Comprehensively refurbished a short time ago, Minnehaha offers thoughtfully designed accommodation, with excellent storage space and interesting design details. It is offered for rent fully furnished & equipped, complete with all fitted floor coverings and curtains.
