Everything you can possibly need is made available by these excellent hosts. Greg was fantastic during check in, and he gave me a quick tour of the property. The room is neat, tidy, and well appointed with a full kitchen plus a table for four. The sofa seating area is comfortable and nice for watching television or enjoying a conversation over tea. The Murphy bed was a fun extra but it was also very comfortable. The setting is serene, peaceful, and quiet. Easy access to local amenities and restaurants. ##### Louis R.
