I planned on traveling with a family member who had to back out last minute. I had the apt all to myself. I felt safe, comfortable and relaxed. The apartment was quaint, very clean and a convenient distance from grocery store and highways.
I would definitely stay again.
We chose the upstairs apartment because of the size and it listed parking for extra vehicles. The apartment is absolutely beautiful! We loved sitting on the deck and taking in the views. There was plenty of room for our trucks and trailers. We will definitely stay again!

Our family was able to rent both, the Yates apartment and the main Ross house and our family had the best time! The apartment is delightful and the bedding is heavenly! The views from the top deck are amazing! Will be back soon!
