It's hard to describe how wonderful Kate's place is. First of all, this place is beautiful. Everything looks vintage (in a good way!) or handcrafted and so warm and inviting. Definitely check out the mural in the backyard if you stay here and take a peak at her quilting station (which is marvelous). She also has everything a traveler needs - a warm inviting home, a stellar mattress, a wonderful kitchen, a common room stocked with water bottles and breakfast items, a bathroom with all the requisite toiletries, laundry, super fast wifi, and even an apple pie when I arrived. The shelves are stocked with books about the local area and, as an avid hiker herself, Kate knows the trails around here well! I feel lucky and so happy to stay here.
