Work stay
Very clean, very quiet neighborhood. Was nice to come to after a days work. Beats staying in a motel be far. Feels more like being home. Thank you for having this available. Porch was great and enjoyable.
Place was nice. Beds and couches were very comfortable. The guys liked the manly cabin feel.We relaxed outside and enjoyed watching the birds and the sunshine. There was bad weather and tornado watches/warnings during our stay; the owners let us know where storm shelters were and which news channel to follow. Thank you for worrying about our wellbeing!
