What a dreamy property!

Chris is an incredible host. She gave us a thorough tour, provided food, and had the most adorable cats. Amazing back garden area. The space was very practical for 4 girlfriends or two couples because the house was arranged like two separate wings each with its own bathroom. Chris is also an amazing artist. I highly recommend staying at her beautiful and pristine home. It has so much character and is so beautiful.
