Marilyn was a gracious host who allowed me and my friend to check in past her usual bedtime, and even took time to show us around before she turned in for the night. As other guests have said, it's not a completely separate suite because you share entrances with the hosts. Additionally, your hours of being active are somewhat restricted because your bedroom is right under their bedroom, so you have to be careful not to shower too late because it gets loud upstairs. Asides from that, the stay was great (Marilyn even had a little homemade of the area for us to peruse!). A very minor thing that I wish was different was the curtains in the bedroom windows - we stayed in late spring so it got bright really early, and the curtains, which were white and blue, weren't too good at keeping the bedroom dark, especially at 6 in the morning when most people would probably still want to be sleeping.
