Even Better Than The Pictures!
What a lovely little place to rest our heads for a couple of days, in a beautiful little neighbourhood, pictures don’t do it justice. We’re on a Road Trip across the US and this place was lovely and homely. Small, but has everything you need and close to everything. Great host too, highly recommended.

From the moment we came the host was very friendly, he was so sweet and nice I love everything about the guest house it was so clean & smelled good. He washed the sheets & brought it out to us with a snack basket & Checked on us. He always asked or made sure we were good & if we needed anything. We felt very secure and safe during our stay will book again .. Definitely recommend!!
