A total delight

We stayed in the 3rd floor penthouse, which had an amazing view of the river and was a great fit for our family of 4. David and Inez were such sweet hosts, cooked incredible breakfasts each morning, and truly made us feel like we were staying with friends.

Memorable get-away!

We stayed in the 3 floor penthouse. I was a beautiful view with windows all around. The accommodations were perfect and we had all we needed. Inez's breakfast is amazing! It was nice they could give us advice on what to see, what to do and where to eat. Inez and David both wanted to make sure our stay was a great one! Thanks for everything! Jill Sweetland
