Deborah was VERY nice! She loaned me her phone when mine mysteriously quit working - this saved the day for me - allowing me to communicate with my assistant and pick her up at the bus station in town. I loved the closeness to Reed, which is where my conference was. It was a 20 minute easy walk. The upstairs room is comfortable and nice with two places to sleep, and The house is big with a private back yard. This is a great place to stay.
