    The space

What a fun, unique place to stay for the night. We are always looking for a "local" place to stay to "soak" in the area and this completely met our expectations. The host greeted us and was friendly and courteous - answering all our questions! Will stay again when traveling through the area.

Cool cottage on a farm

The cottage was great. Plenty of room. And really quiet. It's located on a farm a little north of Gothenburg. I'd stay again!

This was so lovely! John and Mary Lou are so wonderful and kind hosts. They made sure we made it in okay, gave us a tour, and provided waters. The bunkhouse is decorated beautifully and the beds are comfortable. You have to wake up to watch the sunrise and play fetch with the dogs. This was a joyful experience on our way from Chicago, IL to Aspen, CO. I would definitely stay again!
