We spent 4 days @Lisa Marie 's house and our stay was great.
She is helpful and warm, and all is done to make you feeling like home.
No doubt that we will come back!November 2018
very poor beds, two matresses on each other, asking where I came from and when we came to visit, the desire for the night to stay in that room, I had to sleep in another place.

The house was clean and Lisa and her daughter were helpful. We were four and there were other 6 people living in the house at the same time as ours. We were given Lisa’s daughter and Lisa’s son rooms, with all their stuff inside. There are only two bathrooms. A bit too packed.
