Lori (and Podji) were excellent hosts!!! She was very communicative and friendly about check-in & her plans for the weekend that we stayed (which is nice to know when you're sharing a home). The "room" is more like a suite, with living area, bathroom, and a very private bedroom. It really does feel like your own space. I'm not sure if she was tippy toeing around...but we didn't hear her upstairs at all. She has thought of everything to make your little suite comfortable. It was very clean, extremely comfortable (the bed!!), and much larger than we thought. Nice linens & towels, hot water with good pressure, television, and just enough of a "kitchen" to make coffee, heat up and store food, and even plates & utensils! The larger (and very nice) kitchen is upstairs just a few steps away for any other cooking needs.

We brought a dog with us, and her dog Podji was very welcoming. The backyard was perfect for everyone to romp around, and it was hands down more comfortable than any hotel stays we have had with our pets. This is a PERFECT place to stay with your furry friend! And if you're not a fan of pets, Lori keeps Podji upstairs and the place doesn't have ANY pet "smells". It is very clean.

The neighborhood was nice, and just a quick jaunt over to some good restaurants, coffee & shops & about a 15 minute drive into down town.

I would HIGHLY recommend staying here, and we are already looking forward to going back. :)
