Helen was so hospitable! From first contact until we left, everything was easy. The photos don't do the place justice. It was so cozy and perfect for our little ones. It rained a good portion of the time we were there, but the yard was perfect for the kids (in raincoats) to run about and splash in the puddles, and then warm up in front of the fire afterwards. Helen took us to feed the animals several times, and took my 3 year old on a horse ride down the street to he river. She made us fresh bread each day and was just so lovely. We had the best time, thank you!!
