This private, two-story front unit of a duplex features its own separate entrance, a covered front porch, and a large, beautifully green backyard, perfect for relaxing or enjoying a morning coffee. The suite blends rustic charm with modern touches, including newly installed high-speed internet (\~500mbps) for remote work or streaming.  
  
Inside, you’ll find a warm and welcoming interior with cottage-style accents and a unique loft-style upper bedroom, where the walls don’t fully reach the ceiling, adding to the open, airy feel. Your private deck with outdoor seating makes it easy to soak up the surrounding nature in comfort.  
  
You’ll have full private access to the front unit.While the rear unit is rented separately, each suite has complete privacy, including individual decks and entrances with spacious backyard. Shared driveway parking is available.

Overall the property and host were good. The unit was well equipped and clean. My only negative would be the beds the mattresses were old and need replacing. A good night sleep can change your stay from good to excellent.
