"Concierge services and hospitality rated as "the best we have
ever had in Paris, NY or Tokyo," John & Amy, June, 2008

"Fun-filled, eclectic stuff all over ~ it took us days
to laugh our loving way through seeing everything.  I've never
been to a place like this, nor listened to such knowledge before
about our history and country.  US Army Officers, June, 2011

"A cute little mansion, definitely not a luxury getaway at the
Peabody, rather a wonderful place to relax.  Adorable!"
Frank & Joanne, May, 2009

"I've had enough of gourmet everything and the Ritz in Paris for
$900.00 per night.  We wanted something with history to sink
our teeth into and we got it with tasty food!" James, August, 2010

"Evidently thousands of us out here love, love, LOVE this place!
If you're an angry, little person pretending to turn yourself
into a "reviewer," then stop in here and rip this place open
on the internet when you get back home.  Although
we've never met, we can tell you'll hate it - already.
But WE'LL be back for sure!
John and Gladys, December 2010

"If you drive a Ferrari and are looking for nouveau-riche,
ultra-sheik accommodations, this loving home is not for you.
Rather, it's a quirky, little place that is amazing and caring!"
Amy, September, 2011
