Randall, the host, is excellent!! He communicated with us before we arrived and was there to welcome us. When there was a problem at 2:00 a.m. with a water faucet not turning off, Randall was quick to repair that. And he was very friendly and knowledgeable when telling us about the area.
We were there during a cold spell, and the room was cold. The desktop refrigerator was very small — we were traveling with snacks and soft drinks, and they didn’t all fit. An extension cord would have been useful to help us charge two phones and a CPAP. Waffles at breakfast were tasty.
