    Sandy and John are wonderful hosts and fabulous cooks! We also enjoyed their pets, Lilly and Colombus. We hope to visit again someday.

    Very nice stay in a 1720-era restored house down a long one-lane road in the valley among the mountains. Sandy and John are great hosts. Breakfast was excellent. Very pleasant to have a sitting room downstairs along with nice bedroom. ...
