"Overall our stay was good and our son loved the trip. Really the only con I can say is that one of the queen beds made a really large noise when moving in the bed to the point you thought it would break. That obviously didn’t happen but it made us slightly concerned. Other than that, it was a great trip!"

"Heather and Jason are such accommodating hosts! If you’re looking for a small town mom and pop cozy spot to spend a night or more at, this is the spot. They’ll text you details and ask what you’d like for breakfast! Waters and tea can be available 24/7. They even provide pads, dental floss, make up wipes, etc in the bathrooms if needed. If you need anything else, just let them know. They also own two beautiful and super sweet dogs! They’re usually away from guests unless requested for that fur baby moments that you miss. It’s great because I always miss my fur babies when I travel. Such a quaint and quiet spot to relax and enjoy my time from a busy city! I will be back and hopefully sooner than later."
