My two cousins and I stayed one night with Alan and Shannon. We all feel so at home with Douglas House that we unanimously refer to it as 'home'. All the three rooms are upstairs and very spacious. The bathrooms are definitely something to write home about. Shannon was waiting for us as our car pulled near the house and she offered us hep. We spent a little time admiring the garden and met the balance of the family, then shown to our individual rooms. One can't help but admire the beautiful house, especially some of the wood work. The surrounding is tranquil and I felt I was cast into a postcard.

In the morning breakfast was waiting for us after a good night's sleep - home-made zucchini muffins, fresh juice, fruits and eggs. With Shannon's permission we all went black berry picking. To my liking, everything we were fed was 'organic'.

I personally cannot remember ever in my life to have slept in a house where I do not have to lock the doors. All three of us wish we could have stayed a few days more and we definitely will recommend it to our families and friends.

Thank you, Alan and Shannon.
