Home was nice. We had hoped more family coming but didn’t so a bit expensive for two people. Nice to walk up the road to our daughter’s and to be able to help with cooking food for weekend. If we had brought our dog she would have loved your yard. If for sure more family in future it would be worth the cost. Thank you for opening your home to us.

Clean, comfortable place to stay while visiting state/national parks. Beds were great, kitchen was well equipped and it’s situated in a quiet neighborhood. Only thing missing was a washing machine/dryer but we found a nice laundromat nearby. Some more outdoor furniture would add to this very nice AirB&B.

Thank you so much for your review! We usually gave patio chairs but the weather has turned so rainy it will ruin our chair if we keep them outside in the winter months.

This is our second time staying here and will not be our last. Good location for visiting the beach, hiking in the forest, or just checking out all the restaurants nearby. Also, the backyard is a nice place to sit outside and it is fenced and large if you bring your pet.
