Perfect Gift!
My husband had been wanting to go fishing for about two years but between heat, drought, flooding and other obligations it has been difficult to accommodate him. When I found Minerva’s Cottage I unknowingly had found a dream come true for his birthday! I never thought I would hear him call uncle on fishing! After 3 days of catch and release to his heart’s content he decided to put his feet up and enjoy Minerva’s a little more. The tiny house was a great space- comfy bed, cold AC, full kitchen, fabulous front porch. We spent our “at home” time on the porch in the rocking chairs looking at the pond- ceiling fan, no mosquitoes, comfortable quiet time, listening to all of the sounds of the country. Mauro and Teresa were great host/hostess. I came prepared for the outdoors, bug spray etc… Mauro & Teresa had plenty at our disposal but the good news is, we didn’t need it and it had rained off and on before and after we arrived. For someone who attracts mosquitoes it was great. Thank you Mauro & Teresa for offering your beautiful place for others to use.
