Even though it’s attached to the main house it was very private. Our only issue was the size of the refrigerator, but we made it work and we enjoyed our stay.
Our stay was very cozy, loved the interior designing it felt very homey we actually walked around admiring it for a bit. Check in / out was easy as pie. Neighborhood looked great! Fantastic price for location property. Bed was actually very comfortable
The Gemini was super cute, a true hidden gem. The hosts were super accommodating! The tv had all the streaming services logged in so we were able to do a movie night in to relax after visiting with friends. The bed was so comfy and I swear I slept like a baby. The retro pink bathroom was a cute touch. I definitely will book The Genini again the next time I'm in Elkhart
