We just returned from almost two months in The Monkey Cottage, while there we had kids, grandchildren, and lots of friends visit... everyone loved the house. The patio was the favorite place to gather, the flowers in the yard were spectacular, there was something beautiful blooming all summer. What a lovely and comfortable home. Gwendolyn help to arrange daily housekeeping and a chef which helped to make our summer one to remember.

Gwen, Good morning. I just wanted to check in with you and say a huge “Thank You” for allowing us to spend a fabulous week in your amazing home in Sun Valley. Our entire family had such a great time. Our boys loved the toy room, the TV near the bath downstairs (never had them begging for baths before), the huge yard, exploring the forest around the house, and riding their bikes up and down Wall Street. Your house is awesome. What a special place. You guys did such a great job on it. A great design, a great layout, perfectly decorated, it was just fabulous. It is actually a bit of a crusher to come home after staying in what is basically our dream home. Anyway, thanks again! Sincerely, Jeremy
