Gretchen's home is wonderfully decorated from the main entrance all the way thru to your private room. Her home is warm and inviting throughout. For me it was an especially authentic experience because of the appeal of wooden floors, radiators for heat, and the 1920s era construction which has been carefully maintained and restored throughout, with touches of modernized upgrades here and there. I was really intrigued by the neatness of the original wavy glass that was able to be maintained in the windows. Very authentic and comfortable... The hens in their coup out back were friendly and fun to watch, as well as all the squirrels, birds, and a hawk/falcon that visited on the last day, gave for a very peaceful and in touch with nature experience. Gretchen and John were, to top it off, amazing and friendly hosts. I would enjoy staying again.
