A spacious property in the country. It is a bit off the beaten path(however easy to get to), but that adds to the charm and seclusion. It is a very large property with plenty of room for a whole family.The home was clean and had lots of amenities with clear labels on where things were located.Great water pressure and plenty of hot water.

Looking for a large property in the Central City area, we were delighted with The Guest House - beautiful, quiet and serene. Rosemary is a wonderful host and provided everything one could possibly need for an enjoyable stay. Even my 3 young-adult grandsons thought the property was "way cool"! We had traveled there for my mother's funeral; and afterwards it was such a relief to kick back "at home". Thank you, Rosemary. You'll definitely hear from me the next time we're traveling to my old home town.
