Shannon is a wonderful hostess! Jim and I enjoyed meeting her and staying in her basement apartment. The lighting downstairs was amazing, and modern style and decor was comfortable and attractive. We were surprised to find beverages, fig newton bars, and instant oatmeal to make us feel welcome. Our stay was both quiet and comfortable. The play room is a wonderful feature for anyone traveling with babies or young children. We came to visit our kids for a week and needed a place to stay because their home could not accommodate the number of guests they had. We will stay at Shannon's again if that is the case in the future. Gateway Discovery Park is just up the street and was a wonderful place for us to take our grandkids as well. Highly recommended!
