Quilters ….going to the show!

We didn’t realize there was no tv in the house. It was no problem, but it would be nice to have seen some news in the morning. Super nice place to stay. Beds were comfortable and the place was very clean. Lots of coffee available and creamers and sugar! I’d stay there again!

A Great Stay…

My family (8 adults) enjoyed this stay very much. It was roomy and quiet and the outdoor patio was so peaceful. The only thing we didn’t love were the beds… all of them were pretty uncomfortable.

Great house and location

Lovely home , nicely decorated, nice outdoor space. Beds were comfortable, good water pressure and spacious. We did have one to four cats that visted everyday, sometimes scratching at door to get in so of you have puppers to bring be aware there are kitties. Location was close to the Wolf sanctuary, a must visit for the nightime full moon visit. Some road noise in evening on back deck but wasnt terrible. Would love to stay here again next time in PA.

Three quilters came for the quilt show and do a little (alot?) shopping. Location was convenient to the show and our favorite shops. Lots of room for us to spread out and play with fabric and patterns. Will definitely keep on the list for future quilt trips.
