Great place to stay.
Geena was a great host, especially with our last minute change in plans. The check in process was easy, she made us feel welcome and the home was exceptionally neat and clean. Geena offered dinner recommendations and suggestions for activities..

Not a bed and breakfast
This listing is inaccurate, it is not a bed and breakfast you are sharing a home with the owner. It should be listed as “room for rent in home.” The owner was there the entire time which was not advertised so it was uncomfortable. It also was not a bakery. The 2 rooms for rent are on either side of the owners room and kitchen which was awkward as well.

Nice, convenient location. The coffee, tea, snacks and fruit appreciated. I had never seen an electric kettle. Great choice. Never smelt the bakery goodies. Missed that.

Mini vacation
The place was very clean, and Geena was very pleasant. I kinda surprised of the slip and fall agreement that we had to sign. And having to be fragrance free while we stayed there. Which we understand but we really wished that there were a couple of chairs on the room to sit on. Sitting on the bed all the time isn’t very comfortable for us senior citizens. The exhaust fan in the bathroom doesn’t work so it made it kinda uncomfortable when showering. Removal of your shoes outside the door was a little bit too much but we did what was necessary to make it work.

Sunny days
It was a great place to stay very close to my mother-in-law. Gina was very pleasant. Very easy to talk to the place was immaculate. The only thing is we thought we’d get a breakfast, but she did give us boxes of oatmeal and apples and bananas. Which most times was fine. We enjoyed the stay very much and definitely come back again.
