I had to use a thesaurus to see if there was a better word to use than, HOSPITABLE, to describe Scot and Trisha’s place. Because, honestly, their place was beyond what we expected. The amount of care and thoughtfulness they poured into this beautiful space was incredibly appreciated.
The greeting from Mieka, who lives in the front house, was so warm and friendly. The back house had a whimsically garden space with a trickling fountain amongst the ferns.
The house had ample space with all the amenities you could want and again, beyond what we expected. Their taste in decor, from kitchenette table, to beautiful ceramic mugs and jar glasses, were a lovely touch.
There was a glass dispenser filled with water…and coffee, caffeinated and herbal teas, available, plus all the accoutrements. Even microwave popcorn! A coffee maker, electric tea kettle, and toaster were ready and available (the tea kettle had water in it and ready to go). The fridge even had two cans of La Croix!
The bathroom had shampoo and soap, toothpick floss, Qtios, a hair dryer and extra toilet paper. The towels were clean and fluffy. And speaking of clean, the entire home was spotless.
There was plenty of room for our clothes to hang on the ample hooks, and inside the wardrobe closet. There were extra blankets and an air mattress if we needed it.
The seating was plentiful, from the kitchen table to the comfy recliners. They even had roku and we were able to watch some fun docuseries in the evening.
The bed was so comfortable!!! The sheets were so soft and soothing!!! The pillows were supportive. We both had a night stand with lights and I had a Himalayan salt rock light too. Which was so nice because I have that at home. Again, to feel as comfortable as I would at home is such a gift.
I loved making a delicious hot coffee and sitting out in the garden. The visits from the front house human and fur children were so cute. I looked forward to seeing the dog, Summer, and Mieka’s little girl, Skye.
When I was concerned about the heat wave and the space possibly getting too hot for me. Scot went out of his way to drive to Bend, to pick up a portable air conditioning unit. Again, why I tried to find a word that was more descriptive for Trish & Scot’s level of hospitality.
The neighborhood is so peaceful and just blocks from wonderful spots to stroll, shop, and eat. We were one block from our friend’s place too! We would definitely book our stay here again for future visits. In fact, we cannot wait to come back to this wonderful hideaway.
