we arrived early and were in a rush, which is never a good combination! We called the owners, who were very understanding and helped us check in early and get settled quickly. The service was fantastic. And so was the place!

The room was extremely cozy and private. We checked in late, but the owners were very responsive and helpful getting us situated. The listing on Expedia does say that check-out is 11am, but it is actually 10am. If we had stayed in the area longer, we definitely would have stayed here longer.

This is a B&B set a short distant from city center and sits in a golf course community. The host was friendly and was available if needed. Our room, the “ Golf View,” had an enormous California king bed. The bed was comfortable, the room was clean with individual room climate control and the en suite shower had great pressure. There was a communal kitchen for cooking and the host provided cold cereal, bread and milk for morning breakfast. We enjoyed our stay.
