It even had some bottled water, coffee, tea, and snacks. Some guest may want an ironing board or clothes steamer. The location was only two miles from our relatives home and not very far from shopping or restaurants. We had someene in our party stay behind one day because she wasn't feeling well. Greg went above and beyond by checking on her and offering to go get anything if it was needed. There are quite a few outdoor cats for entertainment while you sit outside. I believe some of the cats are rescues. We enjoyed watching the younger cats play and watching the cats follow Greg to the mailbox and back. That tells me that the cats know who really cares for them. When it was time to end our stay Greg wrote us a very nice thank you card. ##### Jammie B.
