Say you're attending a conference of 800 women in your line of work, all staying at a castle-like hotel on lovely grounds. At first, you might wish you were there with them. Stay here instead. You'll be glad you did.

You'll be just around the corner -- walking distance -- from the hotel, yet have a large and comfortable space to relax. You'll have the softest sheets and towels, a sunny backyard for yoga or reading in the hammock, snacks that don't cost $10 each, hot water for tea or coffee, bright pink flowers just outside your window, and a super responsive host. If you have a little one, even better: there's a pool and a play structure -- not to mention laundry! -- and you won't at all mind spending time here for naps.
Thank you, Janet and family, for the lovely escape!
