A recent guest had the following to say: "Happy Valley Studio is our new favorite place to stay. My fiancé and I went for our anniversary weekend and we both have nothing but raving reviews to share! The place was so adorable, in a great location, There were thoughtful amenities (granola bars, make-up wipes, waters in the fridge). From the minute we walked in we were in awe of how clean the space was. Additionally, there was beautiful lavender left on our bed as a favor to keep! Sandra and Craig, my fiancé is already making plans to come back! Thank you so much! We are both (me especially) so picky with where we stay! Your place blew us away."
