Carol is amazing and generous and makes the best breakfast! I arrived for my rental search trip after dark, and her home was beautifully lit, warm and lightly scented of floral herbs. The cats enthusiastically greeted me; the oldest one just sat right on my lap without any hesitation, and I knew it would be a good stay. The house was so tranquil. The bed was so cozy. And Carol was such a good listener and source of advice for my rental search. I enjoyed hearing about the local food and other resources she knows well. Her other guest who was there at the same time was also fascinating and fun to talk to. Her son was polite and cheerful most of the time, as only a 10/11 yr old can be. And as I said, the food was the best. One of the days the other guest and I rummaged through Carol's fridge and cobbled together breakfast before she awoke, and it was all fabulous bread and jams from the farmer's market that I was totally unfamiliar with but will seek out when I do relocate there. I'd never had real porridge before or home-made applesauce, which she served in sweet unique dishes, and it was super yummy. I can see why some guests return often when in town for work because Carol is really special, and I'm so glad I stayed with her.
