Kate is a fantastic host; helpful, close by if you need anything but not by any means intrusive, and goes above and beyond. She even held a large box we mailed to her ahead of our trip because we knew we'd be travelling so long the seasons would change and we would need an entirely different wardrobe. She is a gem, and so is the little house by the sea! You'll definitely want a car to stay for an extended period, but the drives in the surrounding area are breathtaking. The house itself is charming and a short walk to the ocean and the lake. It was perfect for our month stay as a family of 5!
