Mark and Mary are great hosts, and this is a lovely place to stay. The host family are very interesting and kind people, and I enjoyed getting to know them. The room is on the lower level of the house, so feels very private. It has a kitchen for light cooking, and access to a beautiful outdoor area. The home is within walking distance (albeit with a good hill) of a very nice park, shopping, and dining, as well as miles and miles of gorgeous wooded trails. Highly recommended!
