Summary: Our stay at Reno’s place was so lovely, relaxing, and peaceful. The guest house is gorgeous and quaint inside. It has everything you need to heat and/or cook all your meals from breakfast to dinner. The views were stunning, and we saw so many beautiful birds (scarlet tanagers, Baltimore orioles, an indigo bunting, and northern flickers). The trail across the road is so convenient and close. The trilliums were in full bloom both on the property and in the grand valley trails across the way. 10/10 would recommend and we are certain to be back. We loved our time at this property, and so did our two spaniels!! Thanks again for a great stay.
