This was a surprise trip for my partner and he's usually very reserved when he meets new people and unfamiliar spaces can be stressful for him. That said, Sheryl was wonderful. From the moment we walked up the driveway and she called out a greeting, it felt like we were friends coming to visit. The house is a work in progress but it has so much character, and it felt like a home. The room was sparce, clean, the bed comfortable, and even though all three upstairs rooms were so close, it was very quiet. There is a lot of exposed wood studs and the house looks like it is in the middle of a remodel that has lasted a long time. You can tell that a lot of work is going into this and she's doing it herself and with love. She showed us around the open spaces, we had our own towels and bath rug (which I appreciated, especially since we are sharing spaces with strangers).
Sheryl was knowledgeable about all the cute little places to eat and drink and entertaining to chat with, which we did for an hour while unwinding and deciding on dinner plans. Sheryl was very friendly and I appreciated her engagement with us, especially my very quiet partner. At one point I heard them talking while I was arranging dinner from another spot in the house. We had to leave early the next morning so we didn't get a chance to say good-bye but we are definitely planning a return visit and would stay there again.
