Margaret is a wonderful host! Her extra special touches were very welcoming and much appreciated. She left fresh flowers in the bedrooms and dining room, plenty of coffee, tea, eggs, bread, milk, creamer, cheese, chilled water, and a pie! in the fridge, and even thoughtful snacks and panty items in a box on the counter for us to use. The dining table is large enough for a family dinner and comfortable enough to just sit and read or work as you look out over a side garden or the lovely front sitting porch. I loved all of the big windows because that brought the outdoors in, and the shades were easy to close for privacy at night. The second story has large, comfortable beds, soft linens, plenty of closet space, a rain shower head (that surprised my mom!) creatively placed in an antique claw foot tub, and Margaret provided toiletries, a hair dryer, and fluffy towels. The extra heat lamp in the bathroom ceiling was a treat. We stayed for 9 days, and by the time we left my favorite place was her large, fenced back yard. We didn't use the firepit, but sitting around it next to her lovely rock water fountain while my dog explored the yard was so peaceful. We loved our stay and we seemed to be able to get to everything w/in about 15 minutes... definitely hope to return!
