Quick, comfy stay

We stayed one night as we were touring the area. We brought coffee to make in the morning, and enjoyed the birds in the yard. We drove 30 min to get a lovely breakfast at a local diner. There were lovely perks from the host and it would be a great place for crafters.

It was a darling place to stay for a quick trip to Lanesboro and Whalan. We were not prepared to be that far from town and brought no food to eat, but that's on us. Fun to see all of the barnyard decorations and to "shop" the jewelry for sale there. I was hoping we could avoid the dirt roads on our way out, but were directed to another country road. Everything was clean and comfortable! Thank you for a memorable time! I've already told my friends, who are quilters, about the place!

Perfect spot for a girls getaway. Close enough to area sights but in a peaceful country setting. Everything we might have needed and beyond was provided. The place was clean, the beds were comfortable and the porch was our favorite spot! We all said we would definately stay here again.
