Kathleen was an extraordinary host! Meeting her (and her chickens!), learning about her home and touring the gardens were all simply delightful. The homey touches, freshly made banana bread (to die for) and cookies were a special surprise upon arrival. We could not have asked for a better place to spend the night. If you plan to visit Staten Island, make sure to keep Kathleen and the Sweet Pea Cottage at the top of your list. You will not be disappointed.
