Alan is a great host and offers a great getaway from the hustle and bustle of life. It is quiet, you may hear coyotes in the distance, a cat meow, a dog moving or Alan talking, but this did not bother me. He offers useful information about local eateries and hiking paths. I wish I had been prepared to take advantage of the local hiking trails but had forgotten to prepare for the cold weather. It is a spacious, clean suite with microwave, small fridge, snacks and coffee. Truly a beautiful off the beaten path gem if you are looking for rest and relaxation. He was kind and let me have a later check out. Would definitely stay again.
