Great Stay

I stayed here with a friend as we wanted to go hang out at the springs for the weekend. The location of this place was fantastic, about 4 minutes by car to any of the things we wanted to do in town. 12 minutes by car to the springs. We were able to each have a bed due to the pullout couch and the bedroom. The outside, private deck space was much appreciated. Would definitely stay here again.
