It is super cute and very clean and nice. We were able to make some food and I made coffee in the am. There is a nice place to sit outside with a beautiful view and wonderful garden. I walked to the nearby park and saw the rhododendron trail and river which was really pretty. Quick drive to downtown. It felt safe and quiet and easy to walk around.

With free WiFi, this guest house features a cable flat-screen TV and a fully equipped kitchen with a dishwasher and microwave. Guests can enjoy an ambient stay in their soundproof room with tiled floors and a fireplace. For added privacy, the accommodation features a private entrance.

We loved that once one room of the two available was booked, no other guest would be booked in, hence exclusive use of the bathroom & adjacent kitchen. The fully equipped kitchen was a bonus, allowed us to have our breakfast when we liked & to make evening meals using foods purchased at shops in the area (Walmart up the road), if we wanted to stay in after a day's touring. The separate, number pad coded entrance enhanced the privacy too. Swan was an unobtrusive but excellent host, always messaging first to ask if anything was needed. We enjoyed her informative one on one Chinese tea making demo (for longer stay tea drinking guests only though!).
