Why they chose this property
The Jackfoot Nook is located in Jack's Hill and everything is close by. It's a suburb just close enough to the main road to be mostly quiet but walkable. I've lived here over 20 years and it's a very safe area
What makes this property unique
The Nook is very cozy and comfortable. When you're inside you feel at home. The bed is great to sleep on, the AC really feels premium, you have a full kitchen space even though it's small, place to work and more. When you want to go outside, there's a patio and lawn space to get sunshine. Plus the rate is one of the most affordable in the area, with great experienced hosts
