The suite was an excellent place for me during my two week stay during the holidays. Lynnell and her family live in the main part of the house. There is some family noise, though not bothersome, and not constant, only once-in-awhile. The connecting suite has its own garage and entrance, but my truck could not make the turn into it, so Lynnell suggested that I use their garage and they parked in the suite side. Very helpful since it was winter! The driveway was always cleared of snow. If possible, I will definitely stay again. It was ideal location and a wonderful experience.
