The Green Cottage surpassed my expectation by a long way. The garden and birds it attracted entertainment me and soothed frequently throughout my stay. Gaye was extraordinarily warm, welcoming and hospitable. I was even lucky enough to watch the sunset on Signal Hill with her. The cottage itself was a pleasure to be in so much so I wished it was my home. I loved opening the French doors and windows while reading with a cup of tea. I loved seeing the trees move in the wind. A cupboard of soft and warm blankets provided extra comfort. Gaye treated me almost like I was a daughter, taking me grocery shopping on the first day of my stay, sharing her superior homemade salad with me, and offering me her transport help if I got lost. Gaye was also sure to give me tips that helped my stay, including helping me find a violin teacher or even teaching me everything she knows herself. Ray Charles was a pleasure to be around too and loved being scratched behind the ears. The shower could be turned to a high pressure so it felt like a pleasurable but subtle massage. Overall, I enjoyed my stay so much I ended up renting a longer term room on the same property. I highly recommend the Green Cottage.
