As other travelers have noted, this host is very considerate and helpful. From picking us up at the point where the Teakettle village minibus ride ended to giving hints on local attractions, Richard made our stay easy. Mary was so kind - my daughter arrived feeling not very well, and Mary helped me find medicine at the nearby store, made lime juice from her own lime tree, and shared some comforting chicken soup. Sweet family. It was nice having air conditioning and warm water in the shower and fresh water in the room. We were able to use the kitchen at our convenience, and enjoyed evening conversations on the porch when we felt social. Quiet and relaxing.
