Wanted a solo trip for myself up in the mountains, but didn't want to have to worry too much about food so Eden's place caught my eye (also I love food). Due to some unexpected event I had to reschedule my reservation, and Eden was very understanding and patient with me the entire time.
Eden gave very detailed instruction on how to get here as entering the address in Google Map would get you lost. I previewed most of the route on Google Map Street View and it was helpful.
Now! This place is absolutely beautiful and quirky. Got lots of character as it was built by Craig's (Eden's husband) family I believe. Many fairy lights and colorful rugs were displayed, and fresh flowers decorated the rustic and quaint living spaces. It's so homely and comfortable. Craig collects instruments and there are many options! I played on their antique grand piano one afternoon and it was a lot of fun :)
My room was very clean and Eden had left chocolate and fresh water in the room for me. The sheets were fresh and the blankets kept me very warm at night; the bed was comfortable as well.

Unfortunately I had to study during my stay here, but honestly it's such a treat to be able to focus and not worry about food and other things. I ordered a few meals from Eden during my stay since I didn't have time to explore the area (and let's be honest that's the main reason I picked this place lol). Prices and portion of the meals were fair and generous, I ate a lot (she was shocked by my appetite, haha) and still had leftover. The best part is the food was AMAZING. Eden made many delectable food and condiments using ingredients from her garden, while taking guests' dietary restriction into account. To name a few things I have eaten here: fresh pumpkin waffles with fruit compotes made from her home-grown fruits, homemade sausages, salads (newly-picked!), turkey polenta pot pie, blackberry crumble, fresh garlic hummus, garden veggie egg scramble... you get the idea, Eden is a great chef and uses healthy ingredients. On top of the delicious food you get to dine out on the patio while looking out into the forest, enjoying the sunshine, and listening to the birds chirping...and maybe their dog Buddy will keep you company, too! If the weather does not permit, the dining room has just the same great view.
The neighborhood was wonderful as well; people were friendly around here and I felt very safe. I did manage to hike around for a bit and the route was very manageable.
Honestly, this was like staying at your grandparents' house. Thank you Eden for being my weekend grandma and feeding me! Will definitely be back later when I don't have to hole up in the house studying.
