Liked: Cleanliness
I absolutely loved my stay here! The place is really charming, inside and out! Lisa was a wonderful host...very responsive to my questions & needs. The bed was comfortable, the TVs were fantastic and I loved all the small touches such as robes/slippers, snacks, bathroom toiletries, etc. Just so, so welcoming and nice! The cleanliness was top notch as well. And the morning that I had to pack up and go home, I loved seeing the wildlife: a big brown/gray squirrel, a chipmunk and I heard a woodpecker :-)...I definitely hope to stay here again in the future! P.S. Lisa's next door neighbor (on the right as facing the house) was also very nice and friendly.
