Elaine is a very warm and welcoming host. She will happily chat and interact with you if you like company, while at the same time giving you your privacy and space if you desire those things instead. Though she has two dogs, when I said I wasn't really a "pet person," she did a great job of keeping them in her room and out of my way. One of the days, when it rained all day, and it seemed too far to drive down the canyon roads to get lunch, given the inclement weather, she had no problem with providing lunch, which was very kind of her. So I though I booked a "bed and breakfast," I actually got a "bed and breakfast and lunch"! The view from the room is just as amazing as it looks in the pics, providing the picturesque getaway that I was looking for. Would definitely recommend staying here.
