We felt welcome and the flexible check in (only allowed on the weekend) really worked out for us since we were at Eeyore's birthday party on Saturday. Hector was such a gentle dog and very well-trained. We really enjoyed talking about Waldorf education and how they built their straw bale house. We shared stories of living abroad and exchanged some Japanese words (My husband lived in Japan for about a year). Their house was very fascinating and well decorated. I am an artist myself and really enjoyed all the artwork decorating the walls. The stained glass was very impressive. The room felt just like home, very warm and welcoming. We found a couple of books, for example, Rumi to read before bed. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast with tea on the back porch and took in the beautiful scenery in their backyard. I felt that we connected really well with our hosts and had a great time. Next time, I would like us to spend 2 nights instead of one night to have a longer visit. We were involved in such an interesting conversation, that we left later than originally planned to Hamilton Pool. We left at the check out time. That ended up working out well, because we got into Hamilton pool just fine. There wasn't a long line since swimming was not allowed and enjoyed the fascinating beauty of the roaring waterfall. We arrived around 11:15 am. What a romantic place to spend time with someone you love! My husband and I really enjoyed the hike and the waterfall.
