Like the other reviewers, we're glad we stayed at the "artist's oasis." Tom and Vivian were better than hosts or even family - they were like old friends right from the beginning, and did many extra little things for us. We loved the comfy, arty character of the place. Everything was clean and comfortable. The eclectic book collection could have kept us satisfied for weeks and the Time magazine cover wallpaper got us musing about the fleeting aspect of fame. We were in town just a few days for a wedding and during that time it snowed, so we did not get to do much in the way of sightseeing but the location was very convenient for our destinations about town and felt safe. We'll definately be back!
