This was our second visit to Mary Antonia's wonderful "nest". On our previous visit I thought that our host had thought of everything to make our stay comfortable and special. But, as I walked up the steps I saw a lovely metal filigree Christmas tree on the table decorated with small ornaments and white lights. Real mistletoe hung from the ceiling, and a blooming Christmas Cactus sat on the coffee table. Later that night when I turned on the fireplace I discovered the beautiful pink rose on the mantle was real! Mary Antonia goes out of her way to make you feel at home, and tries to fulfill every need that you might have. There is even a little short stool in the large shower. (sure you can set your shower items on it but forgive me for being frank.... it works perfectly for resting your toes to shave legs). No word can describe the bed except for opulent. We sleep so well in the "nest". St. Paul received about 8 inches of snow during our visit-with all the hundreds of Mary's books in the bookcases, and the view of the snow falling through the treetops I didn't want to leave. We hope to stay in the "nest" every time we visit St. Paul.
