Overall we were happy with the accommodations. Interior: kitchens, bathrooms, living room - great.Bedrooms: loved that they were separated well, lots of storage, size was comfortable. Only complaint that we both had was the beds were too hard. Exterior: loved the deck and stream! However, the west side of the house was more of a parking lot that had multiple cars very close and took away some of the charm.Other: the closeness to town was wonderful. If you are a walker you would enjoy the few blocks to the main area. The owner was delightful!

The Host was very responsive to all of our questions and to our suggestions. We especially appreciated having a king size bed.The kitchen was well equipped, and there were lots of paper products available. We stayed in the winter so did not get to enjoy the creek out back, but nice to see the rushing water. You can't beat the location.

Sweet spot

This place is all about the location. It's directly on the creek, the sounds of the water lull you to sleep. It has the basics, beds are comfy and clean; but, the main reason to stay is the quiet location.
