Response from the owner We're glad that you enjoyed your stay in spite of rain and cold. We agree, the Painted Hills Cottage is a very unique place, no matter what the weather. Many past guests have commented about feeling at home here and we keep working at it to make it better and better. There are always new ideas, new garden projects ( we planted two more apple trees, and are making another stone path with natural rock found in the area), and new friends - our guests who keep returning, and spread the word!. Come back again and see it in another season. Aruna and Barb Jacobi

Response from the owner Thank you for your kind words. We always enjoy to hear from guests, especially when they really throw themselves into the adventure of it all.
