Ginny is a wonderful host. She responded immediately to any questions we had. She ensured my family had everything we needed, including local coffee, a bottle of wine, a gift basket, and doggie treats. The home is beautiful, comfortable, and well laid out. We had a great family reunion. Thank you so much, Ginny!
