I was blown away by Karla’s hostessing abilities. We had good communication before the trip as well as during our stay. Even though I was anticipating pleasant accommodations, I must say the reality far exceeded anything I’ve experienced with Air B&B or VRBO type stays.
Everything is immaculate and beautifully furnished. Karla has thought of just about any need a traveler might have, from a cooler for picnics to firewood in the back yard, from extra toiletries to laundry supplies and a first aid kit! The kitchen is fully stocked (the fridge even had bottled water in it, and Karla left a fresh plate of homemade cookies on the counter when we arrived), there are plenty of blankets and pillows, extra towels, nice shampoo and conditioner, and of course a spacious garage to park in.
The neighborhood is quiet and out of the way — no busy traffic noises or loud parties.
And Karla herself, even though we never saw each other in person, is unobtrusive, gracious and caring. We even texted her to let her know we’d gotten home safely! You couldn’t find a better host for your visit to the area.
We were so happy to stay here, and wished we’d spent our entire trip in the Sweet Retreat instead of just the last three days!
If this place is available and convenient to your travel plans, grab it up! You’ll thank yourself for your immense wisdom later.
