Jim and Gayle were delightful hosts. They were attentive, yet offered me my space, they went above and beyond as hosts-they even drove me to my seminars when there was inclement weather. The basement apartment was equipped with everything I needed: cold water bottles, snacks, soaps, a hair blow dryer, coffee, tea, extra blankets... The place was very clean and comfortable. I slept very cozily in the bed. You can walk down to the lake, to multiple restaurants and coffee shops, the arboretum is just under a 2 mile walk away. This stay is a great value for a house share!
