Interesting mix of quirky interests on the part of the hosts and mix of animals around the property made for interesting conversation. Being the only guest meant not having to share a bathroom, which was positive. Breakfast was basic cereal, etc and could have benefited from some fresh fruit.

It was perfect! Home made stewed rhubarb! Wow. I spent in the first morning— that never happens. I’m a former motelier and I tend to be a little finicky! No worries here!
