This is totally going to depend on what kind of traveler you are. I'm a super tolerant person and don't need all the amenities. This is a pretty basic place with a lot of DIY decor and the dogs are members of the family. They shed, jump on your bed, love to snuggle. I and my family love this, so we felt good about it. Laurance is also an extraordinarily caring and friendly person, who went out of his way to make us feel comfortable. This is the perfect place for people who want a really comfortable, clean bed, hot shower, free good breakfast and tea, and a kind host.
