Debi's place was a slice of heaven. Every photo in the ad was correct. Her gardens were exceptional & peaceful. I stayed 8 nights & could have easily booked a month. From riding horses, hiking & writing I was at total peace. Weather staying for a day or more it's totally worth it. Thank you again Debi for sharing your beautiful home with me.

Ms. Debi was very gracious & helpful. Property is nice & cozy but was a bit too isolated for me. If your looking to disconnect from the world & enjoy some alone time this is the perfect place for it.

The gardens are of the fairytale variety. My host greeted me with a warm smile and let me know that if there was anything I needed I could simply ask- but, no need as every detail was addressed. The accommodations were charming and oh, so comfortable. Hummingbird Hill was not only the perfect place to unwind, it was balm for the soul.

Debi has created a slice of botanical paradise at her property. The location is lush with plants, flowers and singing birds (and chickens) to seranade you. The apartment is comfortably and beautifully appointed with a comfortable king bed, fully appointed kitchen (minus oven), dining area and a very nice bathroom. You can sit on the deck and chill on the chaise lounge or enjoy the two person swing as you peruse the landscape. We plan on a return stay in the fall. Highly recommend!

We couldn't make it after all...but Debi was incredible to work with!!!

Unfortunately after many changes, we couldn't stay! We did not ask for a refund due to our last minute change.During the whole process, Debi was wonderful to work with. I will definitely be booking with her again when the need arises!CB

Lovely Escape

What a wonderful, quiet retreat! The host is very kind and generously shared eggs from their chickens! Lovely garden to enjoy and relax. Nicely located not too far from town/amenities, but tucked away from the road and noise.

My husband and I truly enjoyed our stay. Debi was an excellent host. She was very welcoming. We had fresh eggs from her chickens, blueberries and juice for breakfast. Her property is absolutely beautiful with gardens to walk through. We will definitely book with her again! Thank you!

Great Location

Debi, the hostess, is so very accommodating and thoughtful. Checking in and out was a breeze. Necessary items were thoughtfully placed in case something was forgotten. I think my favorite thing was walking my dog and hearing the birds sing.

Amazing Apartment

Absolutely charming suite in the mountains. One of the increasingly rare "original P2P Homestays", you could really feel the love Debi has for sharing her space and the location. Our two year old husky was very excited as well. Will definitely stay again in the future.

Wonderful, relaxing cottage

My husband and I had a wonderful couple of days at Debi’s lovely mountain cottage and gardens. The pictures really do not do it justice and Debi was delightful to work with from the day we booked and throughout our stay. All the little extras she added for us were so appreciated and made us feel special. . Thank you so much, Debi!
