It’s a rustic nostalgia little old house like grandma my head. Where everybody wanted to go to see grandma. Basic amenities but cozy and a warm feeling. Flora the owner is so kind and hospitable. I enjoy staying here it is close to my grandkids and gives me the space like home! My grandkids love visiting me at the house.
