I was traveling alone to visit a friend in the area, and the red room in Caryl's home was the perfect place to work and rest. The whole house is lovely and sparkling clean, the bed was super comfy, the neighborhood is very quiet, and the little writing desk got lots of natural light. The weather was too cool to relax outdoors, but I could imagine coming back in spring or summer and enjoying cups of tea relaxing under the trees on the balcony or in the backyard. I enjoyed eating out in the neighborhood and walking along the lakefront trail. Caryl graciously prepared me coffee and a simple but delicious breakfast each morning, and she was responsive throughout my stay if I had any questions. Recommended for anyone looking to stay in the area!
