There aren’t enough stars to rate Jean and the lovely Century House! We rented 2 rooms in this lovely house for an Ironman race. We were late getting in and were going to head straight to dinner to meet friends, but Jean encouraged me to stop by the house first to drop off my racing back so it would be safe. She was waiting with a welcoming smile when we arrived. She quickly showed me around and had me store my bike in the lovely dining/sitting room. I was BLOWN AWAY by this adorable home! She has comfy lovely touches with homemade quilts and beautiful decor. We had a shared kitchen and small dining/sitting room. The fridge was stocked with juice, milk, yogurt homemade granola (beware if nut allergic), muffins, fresh fruit and treats on the counter! She had coffee and tea, as well.
We pretty much had the upstairs to ourselves aside from 1 or 2 nights. We were in and out alot due to pre race race activities. Jean accommodated all of my triathlete craziness by finding a place to hang my wetsuit outside and a safe place to practice transitions. Her garden is an oasis! My daughter enjoyed the hammock and the sweet black cat Carl. Jean would come up and empty our garbage, recycling and compost cans daily. She would open and close windows to make sure the house was nice and cool when we got home. If there were dishes, she would wash them! She even made my daughter’s bed! So sweet. We came back to fresh blueberries from the Farmer’s Market!
My favorite part of our weekend was sitting enjoying coffee with this amazing human, sharing stories of cycling and animal rescues. Jean is a talented quilter and we couldn’t resist buying a pillow and some bicycle potholders! We really love Jean and have made a friend for life! Do not pass up an opportunity to stay at Century House. I promise, you will love it!
