Ellie met us after arriving to make sure we had everything we needed and to answer any questions and gave us some great suggestions. The washing machine and heated drying rack were perfect for middle of our trip. The personal touches (including fresh bread and milk) were added bonuses. The kitchen is well stocked. We stay at a lot of VRBO’s and this place is in the top 1%. Thank you Ellie.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the smartly renovated classroom. The location is the best of both worlds; both conveniently situated off the highway and only minutes to Inverness, yet with beautiful, idyllic country views. Ellie is a warm, welcoming host with a keen eye for detail. She greeted us, provided a quick tour, and kindly stocked the fridge and cabinet with breakfast provisions. We appreciated her thoughtful touches such as a bedside water decanter, sweet treats, and cozy blanket. Thanks Ellie! The apartment is nicely set-up and very spacious, quiet, clean, and comfortable. The kitchen is functional, well-equipped, and organized. The huge bathroom is nicely done with ample space for toiletries; a definite plus when traveling. Two other pluses which made our stay more enjoyable were the heated clothes drying rack and large smart TV. We truly loved everything about this home away from home and highly recommend Ellie’s hidden gem to anyone coming to the area. ##### GRETCHEN P.
