Fabulous accommodations & hosts!

Nice quiet, scenic countryside location. Fabulous and very accomodating hosts. Spent several occasions enjoying conversing with Larry & Sue, pleasant and down to earth people! This location had all the amenities of a home away from home! I will definitely stay here again, both for long term business travel and vacation travels.
