Staying at JuliAnne's "nest" is an above and beyond experience. My husband and I wanted a local getaway that offered a bit of charm and character - little did we know that we were about to win the AirBnb lottery! Our visit began with JuliAnne greeting us at the door as though we were old friends. She gave us a tour of her amazing home and then set us up on the porch with homemade bread and artisan cheese (she even provided us with lovely glasses for the bottle of wine we'd brought). JuliAnne's home is an ocean of creativity and tranquility - an unexpected, delightful surprise in an unassuming suburban community. Although we'd planned to relax in the jacuzzi after dinner, we instead ended up enjoying JuliAnne's incredible art gallery; JuliAnne even joined us, sharing her vision and technique behind many of the pieces. We purchased a pair of her paintings that are now hanging in our home in floating frames (another recommendation of hers!). If my review seems to glow a bit bright, it's because this stay was a beautifully unique experience from start to finish. I'm already planning ahead to my next stay.
