We were warmly welcomed by John and Susan (extraordinarily interesting and generous souls) and took in the setting of the cottage, at the end of a quiet lane jutting out on a peninsula on a beautiful lake. Attention to detail is seen throughout the property. There is a lovely garden and bench overlooking the water above the water-side fire circle and canoe, kayak and rowboat. Quinn and her family have done a first-rate job of providing for all anticipated wishes with two decks, chaise lounges, picnic table, long glass porch table and nice outdoor lighting. The interior is equally well done, wonderful wood paneling/floors, the beds are very comfortable, the kitchen extremely well-equipped, a strong, hot shower, many seating options, a great washer/dryer, good heating, fans. What is most lasting is the impression that you are welcomed as neighbors and friends. Hope Valley, with its fist-rate Ure Outfitters, Ma and Pa's old- fashioned grocery, 200-yr old Stagecoach Inn and Wood River restaurant, are all set between lakes and pines that create the sense that you have entered a precious time that should be enjoyed for as long as possible. With lasting appreciation to you and your family, Quinn. You made my mother's 95th possible in so many ways.
