I did not meet Susan, but her daughters are clearly experienced in running a large busy home which doubles as a country music publishing/production office. Musicians and fellow guests come and go, the former clutching guitars, yet everything is so well organised and so well thought-out that I had no problem settling in or orienting myself. Although it was a pull-out sofa, the bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom (shared with one other room) was large and spotlessly clean. I was able to help myself to coffee and breakfast from the kitchen. Despite all the music production going on, the house and neighbourhood were peaceful and very quiet.
