While I only got to briefly speak with Clare in person, she was just the sweetest. My niece and I arrived late due to some rental car troubles, and she was so understanding about it. Once we arrived, we were just floored by the space. It's so clean and tastefully decorated. Anything you can imagine wanting in order to make your stay deliciously comfortable, is there. The view is spectacular; the coffee is delicious; the sofas are little pieces of Heaven's clouds.
From Mike and Clare's, you'll find that different points of interest are a close drive. You're far enough from downtown to find peace, and close enough to get there in a hop and a skip - hold the jump.
My only regret is that I could only stay there for one night.
