It was immaculate kitchen well equipped even had extras such as spices coffee honey etc which I ve never seen in past units I have booked Bedrooms roomy additional linen available AC which was a blessing. Washer and dryer available but we didn’t use owner Kathy is a gem. Her home is on property but she is unobtrusive. Thoroughly enjoyed the front porch table with umbrella. Travelled with pets and when Kathy noticed I was trying to barricade them on porch she nicely provided a gate. Location is within walking distance to shops etc great brewery steps away Check in was a breeze as we received instructions prior to our arrival Of note if you need to have use of pullout couch there is an extra fee Wi-Fi and roku tv perfect. You will not be disappointed if you book this units ##### Monique F. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025
