8 Mile House Deluxe-Experience California Tranquility at this Historical Home
The beds were very comfortable I never was able to find a check in time. The space was great. We had difficulty eating together and playing games as only the smallest unit had a dining table that sat 6. The management was very responsive. I’d visit again.
