What an excellent place. I was looking for a cozy home with a good view where I could take a personal writing retreat, and this place exceeded my already high expectations (based on other reviews). I was able to work in comfort and without distraction. I lucked out and got wonderfully clear weather. The views from the living room and tub are to die for, and the outside space is large and private. The whole property is decorated with a keen eye for detail and an elegant hand. All seating and beds are extremely comfortable. The kitchen, living rooms, and bathrooms are well appointed. And I really enjoyed the different lighting options, the fireplace, and convenience of a washer/ dryer.

For folks looking to get out and about, a car would be helpful. (And the property has a garage.) I didn't have one and made out perfectly fine, since I wasn't looking to leave often. The coffee shop, public library, and park within a couple miles' walk were a treat.

Carter was exceptionally responsive and reliable -- both quick to reply and informative -- from booking, to arranging a hired driver from the airport, to checkout. I couldn't have asked for more. A lovely and successful writing retreat. Thanks, Carter!
