The location and value of this place is excellent! We enjoyed the porch and the nearby trails. My husband loved being able to step outside and go for a run on the trails. It was great to get away and feel close to nature, but still be close to many restaurants and activities. We recommend eating at the Inn of the Seventh Ray - it was wonderful! The only negatives we experiences were: the AC unit really only cooled down the kitchen area rather than the bedroom. We were there during a heat wave (and I was 4 months pregnant during our stay) so we probably felt this more than other guests. It cooled down really well at night, but the bedroom was pretty hot during the day. One of the days we accidentally locked ourselves out (totally are fault and probably a result of my pregnancy brain.) It just happened that that day our host had some extenuating circumstances that made it really hard to reach her. We only wish that there was someone else’s contact information made available since she knew she would be unreachable. We were stuck outside for several hours. This was the only issue on the trip we experienced with communication. Before and after that day she was very responsive. It just seemed to be bad timing all around that day.
Overall we would recommend staying there, especially if you are looking for a taste of the country and the city.
