“Six Mothers and Seven Daughters reveled in every moment of our time in this beautiful space. Thank you so much for opening your doors to us…. 12 years of the Takoma Park Mother-Daughter Book Group. Hooray!”
~ Book group member
“I’ve lost count of the amazing things we’ve seen and done while staying in your home. From kayaking, random eagle sightings and family dinners, to lounge naps, frisbee, and marathon chili-making. This has been one of the most beautiful and heartwarming weeks of my life and we are all so incredibly grateful for your generosity in opening your lovely house and property to us. Every sunset and sunrise left me speechless, We are quite reluctant to leave such a heavenly spot. It was so nice to spend quality time with amazing friends and I just wanted to thank you for making it all possible. This has been an unforgettable experience.”
~ Amalia Chiapperino
“Thanks for letting us unwind as a family and truly enjoy what nature has to offer. Water, Bald Eagles, turtles and deer were just a few of our sightings. We will be back again and will cherish the moments we had here. Busy lives deserve a break. We got the break of a lifetime.”
