This was my third visit, and I love this place more each time I'm here. Steve and Monica helped me out with a last-minute request and made check in and checkout super easy. The cats are a constant source of amusement -- it's always fun to see which characters are in the yard. What I also love is that the cottage itself is unique; so even if you're stuck inside working (as I was for a bit), you still feel like you're someplace special. This would definitely be a great place for a writing retreat. I enjoyed walking through the neighborhood. Take Salina or other little side streets up to Bennu Coffee and see a beautiful (and rapidly changing) area.
