Wanna go back already!

I had a great stay; the bed was comfy, shower felt nice, had a nice selection of lighting choices, a medium fridge 🤔 (like a minifridge with a separate freezer not a little door flap in the fridge), a microwave, nice updated furniture including a defogging mirror 😳 AND no bugs 😁 The couple that runs it is friendly and professional. I definitely plan on returning! Sorry, only pics I have are when I set up my bathroom stuff 😕
