Having stayed at many regular B&Bs over the years, we weren't sure what this "homestay" experience would be like. Denise was one of the kindest, most accommodating hostesses we have ever met. We were invited to join the family for Sunday dinner before she had even met us. We spent the rest of the evening visiting with Denise and Bill, and getting to know each other. Even though there was opportunity for alone time in one of the many "shared" spaces; we only took advantage of some quiet time in the lovely sunroom. I hope our paths will cross again sometime.
