What a nice oasis on a long trip on the road! I stayed here with my two children en route to converge on the coast with the rest of our party, and this was the midpoint.The plants are great, I am actually expecting to catch heat from my plant loving partner who wasn't with us yet I assessed the residence for privacy concerns and found nothing unusual with IR/EM and rf scanning.

Cozy & Stylish Spot

I stayed with a group of girlfriends, and we loved the place! The plants make it feel fresh, clean, and welcoming. The beds were very comfortable! Loved the beautiful architectural components in this historic home. The morning coffee was peaceful on the porch, and the neighborhood was quaint & quiet. Great hiking nearby.

It wasn’t the greatest

I asked for handicapped and it wasn’t. The washing machine was broken.There was a lot of ants in the sink and on the counter. The table was broken and one of the chairs was also broken. There was no drawers to put you clothes in you had to live out of your suitcase. There was no clocks so you could tell what time it was.
