Buchanan weekend

We enjoyed our 2night stay. The apartment was clean, comfortable and well appointed. Walking distance to the charming downtown area. Quick 15 minute drive to Tabor Hill winery for a wedding we were attending. We enjoyed relaxing on the front porch and the quaint decor. We would definitely stay here again.

Host was very helpful and responsive. Had everything needed and wanted. Excellent location. There is construction going on in Buchanan at this time, but it was easily avoided so no problem with it.

Our second visit here - beautiful welcoming home. Lovely decor, attention to detail, restful, quiet and a wonderful place to stay. The flowers greeted us as we walked up. Easy check in and plenty of space for each guest. 2 bathrooms, 2 bedrooms and plenty of places to rest. The washer, dryer, stove/oven, microwave and stocked coffee were great. We will return. Thank you for the great home.

ND game getaway

Accommodations very good. Could use 1 or 2 end tables in Tv room, maybe directions how to operate remote to access local channel's. Maybe start a guest log book.
