Not hilly at all and places to eat/browse along the way. The tiny house, emphasis on tiny, where we stayed was delightful. Lots of quirky art work, mostly created by the owners, were most enjoyable. While the owners made good use of the space it is still very intimate. All in all we enjoyed our stay and plan to come again. ##### Nancy C. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Valerie T. 14 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Backyard Bungalow The location was amazing. It had two extremely close and easy ways to jump on the Swamp Rabbit Trail. The space was clean, excellent linens and decorated in amazing ways (think I want to redecorate after being there). A private marked parking spot by the door and well lit. Extra linens, towels and supplies just in case. We cannot wait to return!!! ##### Valerie T. Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ange E. 20 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect for the Night We stayed just one night and it was perfect. Very clean. Well organized. Easy in and out. Water pressure was great. And after a long day drive and staying up late for a concert in the downtown area coming back to a super quiet area was the best. I got a great nights sleep because the bed was not to soft and not to firm or squeaky. Temperature was easily controlled and it was super dark. Woke up ready for the long drive home. ##### Ange E.
