The host was friendly, and they provide pretty much everything you'll need. There is a great truck stop just a few minutes away, too. The bad: There were dead bugs everywhere. The bed wasn't the most comfortable. The road is in terrible condition, and I worried about getting out if it rained. If I'd been on the motorcycle it would have been impossible to do. Overall, the good outweighed everything else. Sitting outside sipping coffee while the birds serenade you is a wonderful way to start the day.

Recently attended Pilgrim Heights for a wedding and was totally blown away by the outdoor ceremony…read moresite - what a beautiful backdrop! The venue was down a steep gravel road from the parking lot, so a tractor pulling a wagon with benches took people to and from the ceremony. While our friends recited their vows we basked in the beautiful nature setting, complete with a huge pond (or is it a lake?) as the backdrop. A flock of probably eight pelicans swooped through the sky and landed in the water, and massive graceful hawks soared overhead. It was beautiful and probably even metaphorical in some way. The indoor reception building was large and had a nice layout - you walk through a cabin-esque lodge building with a fireplace and cross an outdoor bridge that leads you into a second building - it felt much like an oversized treehouse. There was a full kitchen, nice bathrooms, and a reception area where there was plenty of room for tables, a DJ, and dance floor (I'd guess the wedding had roughly 100 attendees). On the whole, this was a nice wedding venue, however a couple things did bug me such as the hosta beds surrounding trees at the ceremony site hadn't been weeded (an easy fix), the tractor rumbled through the woods during their vows (very distracting and massively inconsiderate), the reception building's floor had lots of chipped paint making an overall tacky vibe (another easy, fairly cheap, fix), and climbing down from the tractor's wagon meant uneven footing and didn't provide a railing which resulted in one of the elderly guests falling square on her face! I'm really surprised the venue didn't have someone riding on the tractor to help guests on and off, even if only for the sake of their own liability.

Every single detail of this house is beautifully done. Take a step into the turn of the century. How could you not pour yourself a thimble of sherry and sit quietly in the living room just absorbing the wonder, thinking about the intervening 125 years, the lives lived; the joys and sorrows, the losses, the loves. Magical? Indeed. (Feeling peckish? There are probably a few fresh baked goodies in the kitchen.) The feather bed was.....a dream! Lovely soaps and lotions are all here for bathing. Big cozy super fresh towels and best linens. And breakfast. Wow. You won't need lunch. It changed daily. A generous bowl of fresh fruit with yogurt always started it. Then each day was different-a frittata, French toast, pancakes, eggs with sausages or bacon. Yum. I sort of don't want to leave. But. Yeah. Back to life. Back to reality. I love my home but this has been grand.

Anyway, I was able to purchase three bottles of water before moving on to the snack-based machine. I'm gluten free (wheat gives me a stomach ache) so I was really happy to see a Health Bar. Chocolate. Toffee. English? Awesome. I put in my $1.25 (see exhibit 1 photo below for price corroboration) and pressed 5-0. The display (as evidenced in photo 2) demanded an additional $.50. And I was out of change, loose or otherwise. A moment of non-rest. Until I realized I could hit the cancel button, get my change back and use my iPhone -- moments later, snack in hand. Could have been five stars Hartford Rest Area. Sorry, got to keep you honest.

What else? Oh, have I mentioned that the bedroom is useless 4 months in a year? In the middle of summer like this, the bedroom is too hot you have to sleep in the living room. In the winter, the bedroom is freezing. When it's humid, the floor is wet, and you know what? The owner got the audacity to ask us IF we broke a pipe. Like how? Also, 4-times already, we got dead mole in the furnace room. We cannot even use the furnace or water heater room (but it's attached to our bedroom somehow), and somehow, moles kept getting in there. The building manager is nice though. But, overall, shitty building. Skip this one.
