Great location and room
It was overall a lovely stay in a great location with a wonderful bathroom, especially the shower. However, the room had dog and other long hair all over the floor and bed. Additionally, we were unexpectedly awoken by chickens squawking in the side yard outside the bedroom window early in the morning.
