Kate is a very nice lady. I rarely meet the hosts and Kate made a point to meet me and make sure the check-in process went smoothly. As the granddaughter of someone with a walker, this place would not work as the stairs are quite steep, but for most able bodied folks it's just fine. The dogs were polite and the road noise is muted by the trees, so even though shes on a main street it was not an issue. You won't be disappointed :)
