    How wonderful to have stayed at such a charming and lovely cottage rental. The cottage is 150 years young!! All that wonderful original pine flooring, the house is full of history!! You don't get that in the new houses. We loved the yard, very unique and unusual, it takes me back to my youth, when the yards were natural and wild. We ate some pears off of the 50 year old Japanese Pear Apple tree.....the pears were so sweet and juicy. That was an unusual treat. Thank you Maria for all of your special touches and the wine and chocolates you left us, made our stay that much more fun!! We will be back in the summer so that we can enjoy your lovely garden and the hundred's of perennials that you planted 25 years ago. Jasmine


    Thank you Maria

    Dear Maria, You have a great place here. We enjoyed our stay- It was very easy for us to settle in. Thanks for your brief teaching of herbs found on your property. We put the lemon balm and rosemary on our chicken--delicious - and added the spearmint to our salad. Very Delicious!! We liked the way we could come and go and it felt just like home. We feel lucky to have found this cottage. Mom who is 94 really enjoyed and felt very comfortable. Quaint and cozy. Sharon, Glenda, Grace and Norma

    What a way to go. The whole cottage experience was outstanding. We were surprized by all of the extras that came with our reservation. We even got a Complimentary Culinary Class!!! What a concept. I would consider this vacation was like an all inclusive, we didn't need to bring anything with our stay except our toothbrushes. What a hostess....Maria you are the best hostess !! Thank you, we will be back time and time again. Scott Paul

    What a pleasure staying at the Wishing Well Cottage. The cottage was like no other I have seen before, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The customer service was phenomenal and the cottage was by far a better experience than staying at a hotel. The beds(the king size bed) was extremely comfortable to sleep on. The cottage has an excellent master bathroom, with a nice size tub, and plenty of towels and shower accessories. Cooking is a wonderful idea and the kitchen is well equipped. I highly recommend staying at this cottage for all occasions; it is in fact, the perfect get-away from the hectic city-life. Thank you Maria! Truly, Amina and Gavin ps. Again, thank you and hope to see you in a few months!

    What a great place to spend a weekend in. There was 4 of us and we had a cozy sitting room with a warm fireplace for a chilly October night. We enjoyed the wine and chocolates along with the fire. Thanks for a great time Maria
