We didn't get to meet Karen herself but we had the pleasure to meet her Mother and Father who live in the next house. It was great little place and we had a wonderful stay, the kitchen was a tad small but the 5 of us college students all managed to get our cooking done everything worked out okay and we had an amazing stay, there were no complaints about us and we had none about our hosts. This is a great place if you are traveling with a group of friends or colleagues, if we had to go back we would pick this place again!
