This was my second stay at the property, but this time I brought my husband. When I last stayed in February for a work trip, it was winter time, so the beautiful gardens were not in bloom. I was so looking forward to seeing what a summer stay would mean for the gardens, and they did not disappoint. Everywhere you looked there were roses and dahlias and honeysuckle vines and flowers of kinds, sizes and colors. The trees were filled with tweety birds and hummingbirds were zipping from flower to flower. The beautiful extra touches of art, water features, gazing balls and wind-spinners that take an ordinary property to a glorious slice of heaven like this we’re everywhere. That’s just a peek into the property surrounding the private cottage where you stay. Think of it as a beautifully-appointed spacious studio apartment complete with EVERYTHING you could ever want or need, from the kitchen, to the bathroom to the comfy bed, AC, ceiling fan, and even a sliding glass door exit onto a covered patio filled with MORE flowers, hanging baskets, fruit and vege raised beds and a gorgeous Victorian-style glass greenhouse. Throw in a few friendly kitty cats and the most gracious hosts you could hope for. Oh - did I mention the small, crystal clear, above ground pool?
Bottom line? This place is heaven on earth
