First off, Tim is an excellent host! He called to check on our arrival time and went to the house to turn on the outside lights and adjust the heat so that it would be nice and comfortable when we arrived. The inside was clean and had a homely feeling. The beds were very comfortable! You can tell that some updates have been made inside the home, including changes to the lighting, bathroom fixtures, and other elements. The outside could use a little TLC. But it is fall, so it isn't too bad. The focus was definitely the inside. However, if you wanted to go out on the back deck/porch, I don't think you could. So, for the things that are in the owner's control, it made for a delightful weekend. It is also a 10-12 minute drive to just about everything we needed, which was great since I was doing all the driving. Lastly, it is worth noting that this home is situated on a main street. So, the street noise(cars going by) may bother some, as it did us, but it wasn't unbearable. There was this one car with a few extra pipes that decided making noise early in the morning was the best idea both days!
