Great communication, very helpful. Lovely productive vegetable garden - I know it was small but we had fresh greens and zucchini every day! Makes such a difference. The best part though of ...

Right across from the beautiful Hamilton Lake, with its extensive park - a truly lovely place to walk every day. Really friendly, easy-going and generous hosts - I felt very much at ease. Great communication, very helpful. Lovely productive vegetable garden - I know it was small but we had fresh greens and zucchini every day! Makes such a difference. The best part though of course was the cat... Kitty is without a doubt one of the friendliest, most social cats I've ever hung out with. She just loved to be around us and be part of the family. I miss her dearly already. Thanks so much Bev and Alex, we are so grateful for our stay at your house! Josh and Kush
