Sarah and her husband were very welcoming. They have a long driveway which was great. Good communication. Thanks so much!

A kind host. The driveway requires either backing in or out onto a busy two lane road. Stopping traffic may be needed, so it is a bit of a hassle.

Once we found the address the parking was good and Sahara was a great host. When coming from the north off 90/94 exit 1A right on Kenosha Road go past stop sign (9th st) house is 2nd on left. Very hard to read house number from road. Will do again
