We loved our stay at the pigeon house. Decor was very nice and updated. Everything was neat and very clean. We did have a little trouble with the lock on the old door getting but it was all worth it. Our host responded to us very fast and was very nice and patient to three senior women. Thanks Stephen for your help and special attention for our sisters weekend Sherry , Barbara and Suzanne
