Discovered this place a year ago, and I've been back twice! An absolute gem. Peaceful, charming, clean, terrific service. Very well maintained. I like being a little outside the congestion of downtown. Easy pickup and drop off with Uber, quick drive to Starbucks and groceries, it really doesn't get better than this! - 5 Star Google Review
