Carmen was a gracious and charming host. We were warmly greeted, introduced to the property, and oriented to the neighborhood and area. The property itself is simply charming, and the neighborhood is quaint, quiet, and quite New England (in the best possible sense). We had all the features of home, the furnishings were comfortable, and all we heard for 8 days were birds singing! Quite lovely setting, property, and host. Very highly recommended.
