The Story
We were very lucky to find
a nice condominium. At first, I had secured a nice log cabin on Hopkins
but about one month before we were to arrive, I called to make sure everything
was ok and found that the home had been sold! the agent then found this
nice place for us. It was ideal, in the center of town, and we simply parked
our car and did everything from this central location. The condo has 3
bedrooms and baths. Is is located on the ground floor and was very cool
in the summer. Raccoons were in the yard at night, and bears were not far
away! You can see how much everyone enjoyed this place. We used the beautiful
kitchen often. The condo was fully equipped, and I marvel how the owners
trusted the renters with such nice things. We did our best to keep everything
nice and tidy. The only thing I lost was a wine cork opener and I replaced
that! This place is especially nice because of all the beautiful
flowers and gardens. You will note that I took lots of photos of the flowers
and gardener! The manager of the building was very nice to us also. We
felt just at home! I have to admit that this was truly elegant living,
something we are not used to on our vacations. Nevertheless, it added to
the total enjoyment. We were so pleased our friends could come and share
this place with us in July. I should also point out that the first week
we were there we were awakened early one morning by thousands of pit pattering
as runners came by! What a sight. Of course, during the entire time, we
saw thousands of cyclists and hikers. This appears to be a main route to
the Music School so we always saw student carrying their instruments. Sounds
wafted from another unit in our condo as we heard an oboe teacher's student
on a regular basis. It simply was an ideal place to be! All photos are
