This was the most wonderful accommodation our family has ever enjoyed. Rebecca's thoughtfulness is evident in every nook and cranny of her beautiful house. Our family visitors felt so comfortable--the house is spick-and-span, so extremely roomy, with comfy beds, and cheerful decoration (all our family are "cat people"!). No one could think of a single thing that was needed and not provided. And the yard is just gorgeous--the thick, green lawn and the flowers--never have seen such an incredible color as those red lilies. Everything made our family feel welcomed and appreciated. We look forward to staying again, and we have already recommended Rebecca's place to several friends. What a treasure. What a find in Ainsworth. Thank you for everything, Becky!
