Cindy and Edwin have made a beautiful and restful space for travelers. We were visiting family who live a few miles away and this was a convenient, quiet, peaceful and lovely spot to stay. We were out and about every day so this VRBO was an excellent choice over a hotel! Nicely decorated, the pictures are completely accurate. Bed is super comfortable, there were reading lights on both sides of the bed and couch (my husband and I are voracious readers). Fully equipped kitchen, rain shower head in the bathroom was a great feature (we're both tall, so it was needed). Small (5-cup) drip coffeemaker along with Keurig was great (bring your own coffee/pods - they supply the first morning). The small safe was a welcome feature. The yard is like a mini-botanical garden; Cindy is very knowledgeable and willing to answer questions about any of the plants she's growing. The area is super quiet and it's a short drive to main roads. We'd stay again!
