Where do I start? Michael hosted my fiance and I on a weekend in Mid-May and from the start we felt like we were staying with an old friend. From fresh flowers (lilacs!) on the bedside table to eggs, scones and tea awaiting us when we awoke, and the wonderful conversations over wine, a campfire and s'mores, we both felt we had entered some other dimension where relaxation and serenity is valued above all else.

Who could imagine such a place in this day and age? Enter our host - -

Michael is this wonderfully kind, cheerful and wholly creative person who built a home where, in his words, he felt like he would be on vacation every day. Michael has impeccable attention to detail through the vibrant colors, eclectic antiques and art pieces and various textures. His sense of humor and personality is evident throughout. It was incredibly hard to leave, but the effect of the weekend will be long-lasting and we hope to return soon.
