Cute little hobbit hutch

This is a nice two bedroom guest house on the corner of a family lot. It's very quiet and peaceful - tucked away but just off of State route 70. Everything was clean and easy and I would definitely recommend to other folks.

Back home visit

We flew into the East Coast for our granddaughter‘s wedding on Valentine’s Day, but then drove over to the Bradenton area on the following Sunday because we used to live here. It was a convenient location for our needs and where we were used to going. would definitely stay here again. neat as a pan and cute as can be. Loved sitting on porch
