We really enjoyed our stay in Pop’s garage. It was well equipped with everything we needed and the views were breathtaking. The bed was so comfy and had a nice spacious bathroom with heated floors. The coffee bar was such a perk . We will certainly be back and very fortunate to find this gem!

Quaint little spot that was great for a weekend away. Great little space that has everything you need. Our pup enjoyed the fenced in paddock! Did want to mention that there is a turn on/off a divided highway to get to the street to this place. It was a tad hard trying to make a left turn when the traffic was busy. Otherwise, all was great.

Spent 2 nights here with our dogs, the host was very friendly and communicated with us instantly when we had questions. Cute little fenced-in area where the dogs could run free and an absolutely gorgeous view. The place was plenty big enough for 2 adults and 2 dogs.
