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.
