Not a luxury property but very comfortable and clean. Sometimes older properties have a lot of dirt build up but room was spotlessly clean. Furnishings are not fancy but everything goes well together and feels like a guest room rather than a hotel room. I like that owners are eco conscious. I would absolutely stay there again.

Very clean and winderful communication for checking in after hours. Left a piece of jewelry and they reached out to let us know, even offered to mail it to us! My only 4 star was for the bed that I found a bit hard.
