Warm and cozy vintage character home. Comfortable bedroom with window seating. Spacious inviting living room. Classic bathroom with claw foot bathtub and cubby space under the sink. Decorative touches, porch seating, and a rare screen door for front door to let the air in without the pests. Stacy was warm and friendly and provided a few fruits from her organic garden. Would highly recommend.

The guest house comes with a flat-screen TV. There is a seating area, a dining area and a kitchenette complete with a toaster and a fridge. The guest house offers bed linen, towels and housekeeping service.

The garden surroundings were so beautiful and peaceful and my kids loved the dogs and friendly cat. The extra touches including home baked cookies and spreads were the absolute icing on the cake and made it extra special. The room was so clean and comfortable we all felt really comfortable and relaxed during our stay.

    Tucked away in a quiet suburban setting to the west of the city centre this air conditioned garden flat has all the amenities for a very comfortable stay. The bed was excellent, and access to the forest and lake was a bonus. Our hostess was welcoming and charming, and made sure that we settled in with a minimum of fuss.
