8/10 Very good

Beautiful Home and Attentive Service
We were in town for a wedding, and decided to book a room at the last minute. The location was fantastic and the neighborhood was very clean and quiet. Shannon was very hospitable. She was ready for us a tad bit earlier than 3 pm so we could check-in and get ready. We stayed in 'one of the smaller rooms'. The room has beautiful large windows, but those windows and the afternoon sun made for a hot box that just never cooled down enough to be comfortable. Thankfully we had a fan in the room. We did not receive the complimentary bottle of wine, but I'm sure if we had asked it would have been presented. I'm certain we would stay again if the opportunity arose.

We had a wonderful time here, it was quiet and an easy walk to restaurants around the area. You can occasionally hear people talking and moving around in the communal area but it was not disturbing and felt very friendly. Would book again

Wonderful host
We had a wonderful stay! The weather had gotten bad and i got drenched. The owner was kind enough to allow me to come in early and freshen up. The house was wonderfully quite even tho it was completely booked that night. Everything you need is there.
