We enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean and well-maintained. We had to make an adjustment to our reservation and Michelle was very accommodating. Be advised though that, if you are taking motorcycles there, the road in front of the house is pretty steep.

The home was perfect for a brief visit to my son and his family. I enjoyed the convenience of walking downtown for shopping, a glass of wine or bite to eat. Everything I needed was there and more! I especially enjoyed sitting on the porch with morning coffee and afternoon wine. Even it is close to town, it was very quiet!
