Carlisle Inn
Beautiful hotel, very clean, extremely friendly staff. if there is one complaint, the showers are horrible, zero water pressure, very old. Nice bathroom but old fixtures. You should put in good showers for your guests.

Tiny House Siesta
It was a fun tiny house. We knew it was going to be tight and squishy but it worked for what we needed. I would not recommend using the microwave. It was all rusty inside. The shower was tiny and it was hard to keep the water in the shower without spraying out. But it was all good enough.
