One word I would use for our experience with "Nellie" is convergence. Wonderful hosts...beautiful community...incredible access to hiking/restaurants/museums. Ellen and Ken were polite...responsive...provided excellent tips on local places and provided great help so we would understand how Nellie operated. The outdoor space was a plus for morning coffee or afternoon snack. The front room with leather sofa was a great space. Ellen and Ken (as well as the reviews) provided accurate info about Nellie so, we understood that it was vintage...not huge...and not a hotel with room service. Sitting in the "front room" and looking at the curved ceiling...admiring the paneling...was just fun to underscore this was a unique experience surrounded by beauty and options. Our one "small" (no pun intended) caveat is that the bed and bathroom are small so rent this prairie schooner understanding this while enjoying the big experiences you will undoubtedly have.
