Lois met us at the gate after giving us explicit directions on how to find the place (it's a bit tricky) with brownies and a smile. She also left us fresh eggs from her chickens, bread she'd baked for us, milk, orange juice, bacon, jam, and fruit. She gave us pamphlets and books about the area and a map to carry around. She was accommodating, kind, and helpful. There were little special nooks and crannies in the house and gardens that the kids enjoyed. We had a very enjoyable stay!
