Nicci was warm and real, a perfect hostess. She was accommodating us on short notice, and still she greeted us in person and had already put beer in the fridge along with other snacks, coffee, cream, etc. And also dropped off wood for the great wood stove in the living area! Our 2 1/2 year old son *LOVED* the special kid's room, especially the window nook ,where he enjoyed curling up and looking out into the back yard. The kids' toys, books, and movies were a big plus. A wonderful stay, very quiet and peaceful.
