We were here this past August, loved it so much that we hoped to return during the Holiday season. We were not disappointed in the least! Caroline, the host, added extra special touches to make our stay so warm and inviting! We were pleasantly surprised to see a tree, chocolates, holiday candle & soaps. We even awoke to falling snow upon our departure…we didn’t want to leave!Linda, Fred & Oliver
