It was a truly wonderful and special experience for me and my family at Rhonda's place. This is a quaint, special and nicely decorated cottage. From the outside when we just arrived, our expectation wasn't high.
But once we got into the cottage, it was a whole new different experience that exceeded our initial expectation. Rhoda has put a special touch to this place and you can see, smell and feel throughout the cottage.
And opening up to the back is a beautiful patio and backyard that links to the woods with the river not too far away. We spent some time in the woods and we all loved it, including our two young children. We spent quite sometime by the lovely little fireplace which Rhonda had kindly set up everyday for us in the evening and supplied us with extra wood to keep the fire going in the night which I thoroughly enjoyed.
It was my wife's birthday when we were there and before arrival, I did briefly mention it to Rhonda and she made the extra effort to put up birthday decorations - that was a nice touch and very much appreciated.
When we arrived, Rhonda came with Cooper to greet us. She's a great host - really helpful and accommodating. The kids enjoyed playing with Cooper as well.
The location of the cottage is perfect - really peaceful and quiet in the woods but not too far from town itself - just around 5 minutes drive away.
It was raining a bit some of the nights and the beautiful sound of the rain against the roof was really soothing and enchanting, and was a dream come true for me. The rustling of the leaves in the wind was also a beautiful sound which we truly enjoyed. Our stay was just too short and we could spend so many more days there!
