I have to thank Bernie for doing a great job of making our stay a fantastic one including his delicious fresh hot breakfasts including cinnamon roll, pineapple french toast, and eggs with hot coffee and orange juice. We stayed in the loft which was perfectly air-conditioned, had very comfortable beds, and a cool charm about the house. Bernie is friendly, warm, and good. Thank you!
