   A Happy Customer

I had to find a new place in a pinch over the Christmas holiday. Joel, the owner, returned my call the same day. Note: I called late afternoon, I didn't expect a return call so soon. Came in for a tour, clean facilties and friendly staff. I have no hesitation bringing Hunter back anytime I need to leave town.
