This is the perfect little place - especially for the "more mature" traveler. It is very well appointed including good quality cotton linens (thank goodness). It was super clean and had absolutely everything we needed. We stayed here with my mother who has mobility issues. The accessibility features made the trip so much better for her and us. The property is close enough to everything, but also far enough away that there was no foot traffic. We got the best of both worlds.I highly recommend the property.

we enjoyed our stay
Good property. A few things missing. Not big deals but suggest items. More light and stools at the dining island. It would be nice to sit 4 people around the dining island. The only other suggestion is to add a shelf or table at the Handicap Bathroom Sink and a waste basket. There needs to be a place to set toothbrush etc. while using the sink. Still a very comfortable place to stay and we enjoyed it.
