We had a wonderful stay, it is in a nice neighborhood with easy access to stores for supplies. The owner has done a nice job decorating with attractive and comfortable furnishings. Everyone said the mattresses were very comfortable and it was a quiet neighborhood. The two living areas both had comfortable inviting seating areas and the fireplace was very inviting.

A great stay! We came into town for an event. Due to weather issues, and flight delays, we arrived very late. Yet the host was quickly responsive and pleasant to every contact. The home was clean and inviting, in a safe neighborhood and provided just what we needed. I would definitely stay again.
