Marianne was very kind and welcoming. My room was exactly how it was described and pictured. After a long day of flying, this place was the perfect retreat! The room was charming and beautifully decorated. I had a great night sleep since it was very peaceful. I enjoyed waking up to birds singing. The shared bathroom was beautiful and relaxing as well. Both my room and bathroom were extremely clean. Marianne made sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed. She checked to see what I needed for breakfast. I had some of her homemade granola for breakfast which I so appreciated being a foodie. I would definitely recommend staying here with such a wonderful host. This was a great way to start my vacation!
