Debbie's place is a perfect escape for a single, couple or small family. I have stayed there in the past alone, and loved the quiet, cozy space. The coffee bar is a wonderful touch, and everything about the space is welcoming.
When I initially planned my trip, it was pre-COVID, and I was supposed to travel with my daughter in March. Debbie's space is perfect for two, so I booked it for a second time. I was supposed to visit right as COVID cases started to pop up around the country, and I opted to stay home. When I messaged Debbie to let her know I wasn't coming, she called me. As we talked, we came up with an alternate plan, and I changed my reservation to September.
As my September trip approached, I decided to drive with my son instead of fly, and we decided we'd like to take his best friend with us. Although the space is not quite as ideal for three adults who don't share beds, I messaged Debbie to see if she was okay with me adding a third into the party. This time when we talked, she told me she had picked up a high quality air mattress for a previous guest, so she was well set to accommodate our group of three. She also shared all the new COVID cleaning protocol, which I'm almost sure was no real change for Debbie. The place is spotless!
Never in my wildest dreams did I expect to add a fourth adult to this trip, but it happened. Two days before I was to arrive, the boys asked if another of their friends could join us. Circumstances surrounding the request made me agree, and I thought I could put two of us in a hotel, and have two stay with Debbie. As I told Debbie my plan, she came with an alternate that kept all of us at her place, and it worked! Debbie moved a little of her furniture into the garage to give us more space, and it couldn't have turned out better. Yes, we were crowded, but everyone was comfortable, and we had a wonderful week. Debbie even bought an extra blanket to make sure all the group was cozy!
Debbie and Jim are amazing hosts, and I highly recommend staying with them!
