I love this place. It exudes comfort and welcomes you to a relaxing good time. Even though the structure is unbelievable she has been able to infuse her unpretentious outlook on life in her "cabin" dwelling. This year not only did I enjoy lengthy conversations in the screened in porch and deck area, but I also spent the night in the basement "cave" for the first time. The three moms downstairs who were child-less for the night found themselves sleeping in until 9:45. Amazing! Even though the chosen book - Irreplaceable by Stephen Lovely - was awful, in my opinion, I had a wonderful time.Cheryl's pantry is always stocked and she makes some of the best food. For supper that night she made an entree that demanded seconds. Try it and you will fall in love too.

So, so fun! I hope this remains a yearly tradition. Loved my roommates, too!
Having roommates to chat with before bed was the best! Even if Gretchen was getting a little wild! :)
