Summary: Beautifully loved and decorated, this older home had everything you could want, and more. It is a large space, so it wouldn’t feel crowded, even with kids, or a pet. The one downside was the proximity to traffic noise.I loved how I could quickly zip to nearly everywhere, whether downtown or out at Baker’s Mountain. Communication was great, and the house was well-stocked.

Summary: You can scroll down and see my other comments since I've been staying at Better Days Inn for months. I had a fire at my home and grateful I found this house. Cozy, comfortable, everything you need is there, close to great restaurants, stores, and entertainment. I stayed in the "queen" room and even ordered the same mattress and pillows for when I return to my home. And yes, my daughter said she would like to live there! I spent a lot of time on the wonderful wrap around porch and never in my 67 tears of life have I ever seen a chipmunk until my stay at Better Days. In the mornings while I would be sipping my coffee, there was one chipmunk that would come out on the side ledge of the front porch and I would sing to it. Believe it or not, I heard him say his name was Alvin. So if you have the opportunity to stay at Better Days, please tell him Pam says Hi!
