This was our first stay in a home rental type property. We were unsure of what to think upon arriving and finding our room was on the same floor as the other rooms (our bad for not reading thoroughly!). The price and location were exactly what we were looking for, tho. Ray was SUPER great, it turns out! He was welcoming and very informative upon arrival (Gayle was out of town). We stayed a little less than a week (trip cut short by one day) and in that week we were extremely thankful for Ray's hospitality. Their animals and our animals got along famously. During the trip, we lost our brakes! We texted Ray about shops close that were trustworthy and he set out brake fluid just in case it was an easy fix, and pointed us toward a great garage. The same day we got our brakes fixed, we thought the transmission was going out, and Ray, again, was so knowledgeable and helpful to us. #vacuumlock. The house had everything we needed in handy spots. The fenced in back yard was fantastic for our two Irishdoodles to run around in. One concern we had while looking was making sure the owners were LGBTQ friendly, as we are a lesbian couple. I asked the tough question and we were accepted like it's no big deal (as it should be!). We'd definitely stay here again. Thanks Gayle and Ray!
