This was the most wonderful experience. First, both Michael and Kitty were so warm and welcoming, greeting us almost like family. Kitty was especially gentle and wonderful with my toddler, getting down on the ground to meet him, showing him the goats, and bringing thoughtful books and toys from her own grandchildren down to our door for him to use. The home itself was exactly as I expected from the photos. The loft bed was comfortable; the kitchen was well-stocked with everything you'd need to cook a meal; the hot water was gloriously hot; and the composting toilet was no problem at all to use. Best of all, the property is just amazing. There truly are birds everywhere. It's dark at night. You're surrounded by plants. And the drive up the hill to their home is just beautiful.
For anyone able to navigate stairs comfortably, you just can't beat this. I hope we can find a reason to travel to the area again and stay here!
