Val is a superb host. We were there for a long weekend and she basically made it her job to take care of us. She was up late to greet us, made sure we had a fine cheese plate and great beer to enjoy, and made us feel right at home. The bed is probably the best I've ever slept in. Val was not only our host but our tour guide with a trip to Stillwater and another little place. It was the perfect way to spend a beautiful sunny day. The other recommendations she gave us were spot on for places to eat, ways to get around, and her general store of local knowledge was at our disposal. Her neighborhood is cute and walkable and connects up with the Parkway. Read the descriptions, believe them, then book to stay with Val. You can't go wrong.
