Very accommodating and incredible hostess

We enjoyed our visit. Darlene was very easy to communicate with and offered additional services. The cottage was very clean and had all necessities- we were missing our TV / internet, but disconnecting from the world for a couple of days wasn’t a bad thing. Thanks for all.

Wonderfully welcoming!

What a perfect time of the year for a visit! The flowers throughout the garden were amazing. And as always, Darlene was wonderfully accomodating. Her breakfasts are always delicious and we were able to enjoy her garden strawberries. I am looking forward to my next opportunity to visit. Thank you!!

Good place to stay.

I planned a surprise birthday trip for my gf and we met our friends up there. The place was very nice and a great place to get away. There was no internet or TV but we weren't going to use it anyway because we wanted to focus on each other. We are going back when we can.
