Everything was as described - welcoming, peaceful, clean, and private. We loved the neighborhood and it couldn't have been better located for the wedding we were attending. The house was perfect for us with a 6 month old (not yer crawling). I wouldn't try it with a toddler who wanted to climb the ladder, but I really appreciated that our baby was welcomed. I also loved all the care that went into decorating the house and the garden. Each day I discovered a new treasure to admire while we sipped our freshly brewed coffee. We only got to meet Lois briefly on our last night as she returned from a trip, but I'm glad we got at least that much time to say hello!
