We stayed at Catherine's for a full week. Five stars, in every single moment. :) She's a sheer delight, as a host and as an individual - not the in-your-face kind of delight, but the kind that's well-anchored and smiles easily and knows a thing or two about living well.
This was our first experience renting a room in a shared home, rather than having the unit all to ourselves. Coming as we did on the heels of other travel, it was honestly a relief, like staying with an old friend. We had plenty of privacy in our quarters, and while we were moving about, getting to talk with Catherine (and her other guest at the time) made for wonderful interludes in our stay.
Catherine's home is beautiful, and characterful. She cares for it well, and she commented once that she loves to share it - this was plainly obvious over our stay. Our week on the hills there in Catherine's home was restful and peaceful, and this is remarkable: we came away feeling much the same as we do after solitude in our own home. :)
Thank you, Catherine!
