Kate made us feel welcome before we even arrived. The online communication went flawless. She was very detailed and flexible. She was also attentive to our delayed arrival schedule and what we might need. When we arrived late in the evening, the cottage was fully ready for us. All the heaters were turned on to make us feel warm and comfortable. One thing to note was that a personalized welcome note including our names was posted on the fridge. (Kate asked me for every guest’s name so she could make this note.)

The cottage was well decorated, organized and equipped. We fell in love the minute we walked in. When Kate showed us the cottage, my first impression was that there are so many heaters! Every room has a heater including the bathroom. The fridge was also well stocked including 2% and 1% low fat milk, yogurt, eggs, bread, apples and guess what? Ice cream! What’s even more… Kate also shared some of the oat bran muffins she made, which was delicious. To sum up, we didn’t need to worry about feeling cold or hungry when we were here…

We also got to meet Kate’s husband, Peter, when we were leaving the next day. He was just as nice and as friendly as Kate.

The neighborhood was quiet and convenient. You can get on the 101 Freeway easily since it’s less than half a mile away.

Kate and Peter were a very friendly host (and a nice couple, too!). We wish we could stay longer. Hope we get to visit again!
