I did not have the opportunity to meet Ethlie (Ishoed up in the early evening) but ran into Roberta in the driveway. She was a very nice, cheery, warm woman that was most enjoyable to chat with. She offered to get me anything should I need it- I was running to the car for a wine opener from my glove compartment when I bumped into her. Ha! I found the room very hospitable, immaculately clean, comfortable, quiet and had all the amenities that I needed and more (washer/dryer, coffee machine with coffee and creamer, microwave, small fridge/free wifi, television, etc.). A welcome note with a key were waiting for me taped on my private entrance when I arrived. Also, my hostesses made it clear that should I need anything, help was just an upstairs knock away and I should feel free to ask. The only tiny aspect of the room that surprised me was that I don't believe the room was completely shut off from the upstairs. There was a locked security screen door between the downstairs room and the main house, but I could easily hear activity upstairs- such as the microwave and the dog's adorable little toes in the floor when she was in that section of the home. This was not bothersome to me in the slightest, but it did promopt me to wonder how private a conversation or 'other activites' might have been were I not the only guest. ;) All in all a very nice, and extremely comfortable stay. Thank you so much for having me, Ethlie and Roberta!
