Shirley’s place was wonderful - So comfortable and cozy. I wish I’d had more time there. The location is convenient to town but not in the middle of it all so it serves as a quiet and beautiful retreat when you’re done with the adrenaline filled activities and livelihood of the town center. The room has its own little backyard deck and the view is incredible. One night I got home and just sat out there looking up at the sky where the star gazing was spectacular on a clear night.
For those wanting to know the practicalities and specifics: very comfortable bed, lovely en suite bathroom giving you full privacy. Coffee/tea in room and you might luck out and get some Cookie Time cookies too - a nice touch. A refrigerator just outside your bedroom door is available for your use and there was a pitcher of milk and two large glass bottles of cold water waiting for me upon arrival. Another nice touch.
If you have a car, it’s super convenient - maybe a 5 minute drive into town center. If you don’t it’s still doable - I saw lots of people walking to and from the neighborhood into town. It’s about a mile, I think, and an extremely scenic walk along hilly, twisty turny roads. So a 15-20 min walk depending on how fast you walk. Downhill into town, uphill coming back.
All in all, I think you’ll love this place - and the hosts. I had a lovely time chatting with Shirley and her family in the morning over breakfast my last day with her which was a Saturday.
Great place, great hosts, great communication. Highly recommended!
