I’m truly touched by the opportunity to have stayed the week at Rob & Melissa’s beautiful home on Lake Erie.
Where to start!?
The best part of my stay was the warmth, care and concern that these most wonderful people exude and became the most important part of my experience.
The warm welcome note and sincere wishes for a bright outcome for the medical issues we faced touched our hearts. And the delicious flakey cheese pastry they had brought for my elderly mother and I were a very nice touch and a treat that lasted; a most generous gift.
They were aware I’d traveled from CT to be with family during a time of consternation with a family member’s illness that had taken a toll on mom, who at 91 years of age, needed a respite.
As mom entered the home she uttered, “I feel like I’m on a movie set!” She was happier than I ever could have imagined; I was happy and felt that it did the trick.
The home sits on a bluff above Lake Erie with all the awe and magnificence that comes with the changing weather of early December. The layout was open to the most gorgeous wall of windows facing the lake. The yard was a nice size for my dogs and the only note of caution is that dogs must either be leashed or listen impeccably to avoid the edge…it’s a good sized drop. Yet, 2 of mine, blind old fellows, managed it well with verbal commands. Just know your dog and you’ll be fine.
I was appreciative of the recommendations for local shopping especially made convenient by the very nice folks at the market across the street. Great short order meals and a nice selection of items to pick up in an instant. Ordered several meals for us.
Comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, billiards and foosball and a nice big TV added to the comfort and extra fun.
Love the lighting array that suits any mood. The sofas are super comfy and the decor is simple and elegant.
The beautifully decorated Christmas tree and decor put us in the spirit of the season at a time when our spirits needed it.
Of note: Having a bedroom and bathroom on the entry level was great for mom’s limited mobility. Only 3 steps up the the kitchen dining room and living area were manageable with some assistance.
Trust me! This is the home for anyone; you will not be disappointed and you’ll probably feel as we did; pampered and happy. Thanks Melissa and Rob…you are the best!
