Very clean, comfortable and just what we needed for a one night stay. We appreciated the bottles of water in the refrigerator along with coffee and creamer. Tea bags in the kitchen cabinet were most welcome to make a hot cup of tea on a rainy night. Extra amenities like shampoo, soap, mousse, hair spray and other bath essentials were a nice touch. Would definitely stay here again! Thank you!

This is a super cute older home with all the warmth and charm you would want. Nothing was lacking for our stay.

And boy oh boy the wonderful smells from her kitchen made you feel like you were at grandma’s house!!
