The owners are super friendly. Nice and quiet, family owned. The room was nothing fancy. But it was clean and comfortable, and everything works. It has a nice cozy homey feel. I would highly recommend!

Overall it was a good stay. Only thing is that the room had an odor. The host was nice at breakfast and the stay was comfortable otherwise.

Quiet rest
Last night of a 3000 mile trip home from winter in Arizona. Cute, clean, very quiet. We were happy to support a local business. We had traveled 6 days and this was our 7th night.. the chain hotels in the area were clise to $200/night with taxes and fees. Price was fair here and the stay was wonderful!

DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND DONT STAY HERE EVER!!!! Worst place I’ve ever stayed! Horrible customer service, mold in shower, no staff whatsoever. No cable TV, WiFi didn’t work. Charged more than advertised. Whoever does their construction work/remodeling needs to stop. I’ve seen crackheads do better work. Kept tripping over the loose and moving flooring.

Staff very friendly. TV remote didn't work and I called the owners and they texted me right away. When they got home, the owner texted me to make sure it was fine to come over and he put new batteries in and check to make sure it works. Love the Farmhouse design and room was cozy and comfortable. Bed was comfortable but very squeaky when I moved around. Otherwise, love everything about this place. Convenient to get to stores and dining. Quiet and lots of lights.
