Truly one of the best places I have ever stayed—was above and beyond my expectations.
The photos definitely do not do the room justice. I instantly felt peace and serenity upon entering Lucille and Alan's home. The abundance of windows in the room were life-giving, especially when coming from the city. The fan is beautiful, and the air circulation excellent. It can be a touch chilly in evenings, so bring a sweater if nights are cooler. There is a mini-fridge available, coffee and tea provided, along with a few granola bars, miniature chocolates, and a gift-card to The Birchcliff, a nearby local coffee shop. The soaker tub was so wonderful, and bath salts/bombs were thoughtfully provided too. Ultimately, I spent most of my time sitting on the deck and bird-watching, as there are so many varieties that visit their property!
Alan and Lucille are friendly, helpful and accommodating hosts. Alan was kind enough to extend an invite for a morning walk, and Lucille provided helpful tips on the best streets for a walking tour. It was really nice to learn a little bit about the neighbourhood and meet some of the fellow nature-loving people there.
Finally, my favourite part of the stay was sitting with Smokey (one of five cats) in the sunroom, reading and bird-watching. The quietness and peacefulness was healing, and I would have stayed much longer if I could.
I hope to visit again, and thank you so much for the lovely stay.
