This was rented for a very apprehensive dad (61 yr old). He loved it, by the time we left he said he would miss it and he referred to it as home. The first time to loft, he did slightly rub ceiling, even after our warning, but then had no problems with ladder. The walk to the bakery down the street was awesome and all the choices in the neighborhood were appreciated. In the day and early evening you could hear people outside, but later you didn't hear anything to bother your rest. Parking was a little tight during peak business hours but not too bad. It was clean, quiet and relaxing and he learned it was really nice without a tv. He borrowed some tea from the pink house to cap off his nights. The lock was sticking and I sent a text to Rick, but didn't get a response so I called (i may have been in a panic since dad was over my shoulder) and he explained the solution, worked like a charm. I also informed him that the porch lights were out and they were replaced the next day, he was very gracious. Thank you.
