Nice place!

We enjoyed our brief stay here - big enough to accommodate my family while still feeling cozy. I like it when places offer twin beds in a 2nd room for my college-age children. Kitchen had what we needed - we brought our own food, but there were some basics (I noticed oil and pepper, plus a few other things. We would stay again!
