Jody, Matt and family were very welcoming and friendly, more so than I expected a host family to be. Their property is lovely and I especially liked the little meditation garden with the Buddha. The bed is super soft and comfy and there is lots of storage space for your things. As they have noted In the listing, they are an active family living above you and as such you will hear their children playing which I actually kind of enjoyed. You are nestled away in the forest however it is very safe and quiet. They have a nice soaker tub in the bathroom. Also great value as well. Highly recommend!
