In town for a convention, I was looking for something with more personality than a downtown hotel, and hopefully within walking distance. I found it, in spades, at Chip's place. It's a massive home full of character -- huge stained glass windows, eclectic furnishings -- whimsical and beautiful. I loved waking up knowing that I would soon be sitting down to a bountiful home cooked meal. French press coffee, fresh fruit salad, omelette, assorted breads and jams, and much more. Home made brownies and macaroons sat under glass awaiting my return at the end of the day, and the bed was very comfortable. WiFi excellent. The host was very personable and seemed to truly enjoy meeting new people, but was never intrusive. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
