    Memorable. Wish I could have met the owners to explore the history of this development.

    Breakfast was not available -- we happily prepared our own. The grounds especially the trees, impressed us greatly and so gracefully insulated the Cottage from the lightly trafficed road

    I have written a note to the owners outlining some small suggestions.
