GIRLS WEEKEND!! Supremely cozy, but yet luxurious place to stay. All amenities you could ask for, (wifi, 2 TV's, blue tooth speaker, 2 coffee makers with free coffee) beautiful kitchen, remodeled bathroom/shower, beds are ultra comfy. Our weekend in January proved to never stop snowing, but the owner plowed & shoveled us and brought us extra water bottles! Went to a dinner & show at the Fireside Dinner Theater. Shopping at Johnson Creek outlet malls, too! Can't wait to go back in the summer or Fall to use the outdoor gas burning fire, firepit, and go in the river with the water toys! Nice location to do things, and come back to a quiet escape.
Hospitality is my passion, I love hosting because I get to interact with many different people, and deliver an excellent experience for them!
