peaceful farm escape

lovely host sky windows amazing breakfast peaceful stroll
Lesley, our host, was so cute! the room was lovely, with sky windows. I could enjoy nature right from indoors. breakfast was amazing!!! i especially loved all the choices she offered. there was even a walking trail on the farm. I took a peaceful stroll.
The road leading up was indeed a bit bumpy. It required careful navigation.
