Staff was amazing! As soon as we arrived you could sense the pride and attention the owner has poured into their establishment. All of the flowers were meticulously cared for and were abundant. The cafe had really good coffee. The menu items had gluten free options and the food surpassed our expectations. The cafe staff were excellent as well.

Thoughtful home away from home.🏠

Staff was fabulous. The attention to details on the property was wonderful (flowers were beautiful, laundry room was huge bonus, walking trail for dogs was excellent). The staff made us welcome and felt like they really appreciated us staying with them. 😊
