Our flight arrived late in the evening, and Tom and Shelly were very accommodating and flexible with our check-in. They were kind and sociable hosts, and their cat Lovebug was adorable! It does stay outside, and my boyfriend, who is allergic to cat dander, had no problem whatsoever. Our room was great for our one-night stay, and we especially loved that big closet space to put our stuff in. Thanks for hosting us!
