Barbara is an excellent host. I am almost afraid to say how wonderful it is to be a guest at his place because she does this full time and guests tend to book up, but in fairness to her, I have to be frank. There is little that Barbara has not thought of for her guests stay. She rue the home like clockwork; she's got a system so that everything is set up to be efficient and easy. From the welcome sign to first time guests on the front door and customized lock combo so no keys are lost, to a thoughtful snack in the room on arrival to allay traveler's hunger, it's a pleasure to find such a clean, welcoming place. Together with Barbara, her interest in travelers and her great conversational skills, Jake, Barbara's dog, is a big part of what make's the house feel a little more like a home away from home.
