Historic Bar Turned Open Loft in Delano

8/10 Good

"The space was clean but shows a lot of wear. Nice big area with plenty of seating. Pet friendly but not a large space to walk them. It was enough for our small dogs. The only real complaints were the bed was very firm and the shower looks like it was just thrown together. Overall very cool, unique space to stay for a few days."

In Unit W&D - Travel Nurse Oasis in Safe Location

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay at Fern Flats! The unit was clean, cozy, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The location was great - very close to downtown and lots of restaurants nearby. The kitchen was well-stocked, and I really appreciated the small attention to details (like cotton rounds in the bathroom!). Would definitely recommend!"
