We loved our stay at Mellow Yellow! A coworker and I were in the area for a 3-day conference and wanted a quiet place of our own. This place was perfect, clean and cozy. We especially appreciated the Keurig machine so we could have our morning (and sometimes evening) coffee in the comfort of "home". I would definitely stay here again!

It felt like home! Clean, inviting, everything we needed was at our fingertips including a big fenced in back yard and deck as well as a charming walkable neighborhood which allowed our dog to join us, Our son's wedding went off without a hitch and this place was so convenient to every event of the day. Will plan to return on our next visit. Thank you!
