Pristine clean, absolutely spotless. Hostess Paula was friendly and accomodating. Breakfast was huge and beautifully cooked. We will be returning customers and perhaps take the winery tour Paula suggested.
Paula should be very proud of the comfortable and inviting space shes created.

Paula and Lori are very warm and welcoming, and together with the beautiful home and surrounds, their special touch made me feel really well looked after. Thank you! The only downside was having to leave at the end of a beautiful week at this gorgeous place.
