The Yellow Bungalow is a wonderful place to stay! The home was clean and inviting and communication with the hoist was great. The house is located in a great location to walk and explore the downtown area and cemeteries. EVERYONE we encountered waved and spoke and felt so friendly.

We had a wonderful stay in this sweet little house. It had the most comfortable bed, the fluffiest towels and our hosts provided several toiletries, even a welcome candy treat. After 10 days of travel we were eager to do our laundry… so easy. We also enjoyed the porch swings in the evening. Highly recommend!

Short stay for a funeral

Everything was great. My only suggestion would be to add a blow dryer.
