Simply wonderful
When we pulled up in the driveway we knew it was going to be a great experience. When we walked in the door we instantly felt at home, and we should have, because this was HER home. It was so cozy, warm, and welcoming. We wanted a place near McMinnville as we were going to do the "waterfall tour" and needing a base that was close and could not have found a better "nest". From the Thomas Kincaide prints on the walls to the amenities that she had you could not feel that you were not at home. Melanie thought of everything from measuring cups hanging from a nice country kitchen to chairs on the front porch to enjoy an evening from. When you walk in her place, and this is actually her home, you feel welcome and want to treat it as your own. She was only a text away if you needed anything and so charming. If you are ever in the area to see Cumberland Caverns or the 10 waterfalls in the area, please stay at her place. We know that you will feel like it is staying at your best friends place. The bed with her wonderful comforter is so warm and the bed and pillows are first rate, the en suite bath is just perfect. We don't know what else to say because you have to experience it for yourself. Melanie, that you for sharing your personal home with us.
