I just returned from The Lily Pad, and I am rested, refreshed, and inspired by the healing beauty of the garden. I cannot imagine a more magical place to stay, and I wholeheartedly recommend it!
This is a uniquely beautiful space, and every detail is filled with care. The garden is truly a work of art. Everything about it is gorgeous-the koi pond, flowers & plants, and intentional places to sit (or lie in the hammock!) The studio is perfect-it has a very comfortable bed, great kitchen area, heated floors, and so many thoughtful details. I really loved how the windows made it feel like I was in the garden, surrounded by natural beauty--this created a sense of expansiveness. I also found the sound of the water from the garden to be incredibly soothing. The entire space invites peacefulness, rest, and creativity. Also, the location is excellent and convenient!
Albena and Nikolay are the most wonderful hosts imaginable!! It was a complete joy to meet Albena and her family. I felt welcomed and supported throughout my trip, and communication was always clear and easy. Albena and Nikolay are not only thoughtful and considerate; they are authentically kind. This kindness shone through every aspect of this Airbnb experience.
Staying at The Lily Pad was the best decision I could have made, and I can’t wait to return to this amazing space!
