"This property worked out super for our group while we were on an adventure in the area. Everyone was able to have their own bedrooms, just 2 bedrooms needed to walk through another so privacy was limited for those guests. The beds were super comfy and everything was there for us to use for our temporary "home away from home". The town of Quincy is super special, and we enjoyed our stay there."
