It was advertised as a bed and breakfast price, but you still had to pay extra for breakfast. They need to change their advertising

Jayne was very helpful and easy to contact. I arrived after dark, so Jayne left a light on at the driveway, off her country dirt road entry. Quiet, clean and a very comfortable bed. It was charming seeing blue wrens in the garden.
