The first thing I always notice when I arrive at any type of lodging is the level of cleanliness and order within the space. I get an immediate sense of being comfortable or the sense that I will likely not be completely comfortable. Most places are not quite as they seem in one way or another. To my great relief, I was very happy to find that Mark and Stephanie have a great guest house that we were very comfortable in from our first impression on through our entire ten-day stay. We were so comfortable that we decided to book another stay at the guest house even as we were still wrapping up our first stay. The space is clean and very cozy with a high sense of security, which adds to the general comfort level. Everything was as expected and more.
I've come to believe that a large part of the added comfort we felt, in this case, had to with the hosts. I can say that Mark and Stephanie made our time in their "Peaceful Retreat" very enjoyable. They provided some nice personal touches and we had great conversations. We even looked forward to visiting with them and their family members as we returned a short time after just having seen them all. This comfort level was an unexpected and yet highly pleasant experience having only just met and having returned in such a short span of time. This speaks to the level of attention provided and the great open dynamic that was created by our hosts.
We came and went freely during our stays enjoying the vibrant and refreshing environment that surrounds the guest house. Time flew by and before we knew it weeks had passed, but we will be back again to pick up where we left off.
Thank you Mark & Stephanie.
