Alison has created an environment that is much much more that "a room". It was, for me, a perfect combination of esthetics and "home-feeling" comfort. You can see it in the photos, but you have to be there to experience it. She has thought of everything. If you forgot something, she has you covered. The family friendly claim is real. I stayed with my 2 & 4yr old grandsons.....there was nothing they could hurt, or be hurt by. That's not an easy feat to pull off with the antiques and hand crafted amenities that fill the room. Fresh flowers and green plants put it over the top.
