“Great place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 November 2008

Dorothy Johnson is a wonderful hostess and great cook.
Car reservations can be made in advance if you are flying in but DO NOT pick up the car at the airport. Dorothy will pick you up and you can then have the rental car company come pick you up at Dorothy's and avoid the huge airport rental fee.

Her website is poor because it does not really describe each room that is available and their prices. It makes it seem that prices are very high when they can be very reasonable, especially for the shared bath ones.

“Warm, Cozy and Affordable”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 June 2008

Right near Jewel Lake, this is a personal home B&B. Some of the bathrooms are shared, but only by two rooms at a time. The house is very 70's vintage, but wireless and cable are included. The hostess, Dorothy Johnson, is absolutely delightful and can sure serve a fantastic breakfast and an excellent cup of coffee. If you are looking for a place to lay down your head, and have a hearty breakfast before you start your day of sightseeing, this is the perfect deal.

Our room had a queen and a twin, and was large enough for a table and chairs, and recliner and another easy chair. Our folks had a huge room that had a private bathroom. We stayed at the start of June for just $60 a night, and it only goes up to $90 during the high season!

  • Liked — Clean comfort at a great value
  • Disliked — Retro 70's decor
