Chip met us at the door and, helping with luggage, showed us to our room. He is soft spoken and kind and very welcoming. When we asked, he shared with us the most interesting history of his house. There were yummy cookies and brownies for his guests on the dining room table as well as filtered and bottled water on a table near our room. A washer and dryer were available next to our room, along with everything needed to do a load or two. The bathroom was beautifully appointed with Talavera tile and it was fun to use the hammered copper freestanding tub. At first, there was a problem with water temp, but Chip fixed it in a jiffy. Breakfast was plentiful, varied and delicious! Chip is a wonderful host!
