Curtis and Sally are very welcoming and freindly helpful hosts. My boys loved that there was a small playground right next door, 2 sweet dogs Stella and Milo greeted us and visited us each day, as my youngest son welcomed them in with treats;) Seems larger in person then in the photos and was not cramped feeling even for our family of 4. Kitchen was well stocked for all cooking needs. Very nice quiet neighborhood. Lots of birds and ducks to view out your windows and balcony. Kayaking was enjoyable. We were here for my husbands a very nice balance of closeness to the city yet warm neighboring surroundings with nature. Washer and dryer is a plus when traveling. My husband and I are not used to sleeping on super firm mattresses and we have slept many places away from home, this was quite stiff for us, guests sleeping on the foam bed and pull out couch as adults may find it to be to stiff as well. We had a great stay and would recommend the Aerie!
