We stayed at Joe's over a weekend, my husband, me, and two friends. Joe was very friendly and generous, both in his personal welcome, and in the amenities he provided. The house itself has been recently restored with great respect for its 1905 origins - it was supplied with everything we needed, including a nice selection of snacks and a hot tub! Comfortable beds, extra linens, etc. It's located about half a block from Greenlake with access to some nice restaurants. I only wish we'd had more time to walk around the lake while we were there. An all-around great experience!
