MY NEWS: I AM AN ARTIST
While I don't have an official Art Gallery of my own. I often sell my paintings to friends, guests, and the general public to benefit various local organizations.
Guests sometimes ask to buy a painting off the walls of a cottage. I can't necessarily do that right then as I may not have a good replacement. However, I may have something that sooths your soul, so please inquire. Or, I might have one in the works.
I plan to paint en plein air all summer and in my studio in the winter. I expect to have more ready for new homes soon. Stay in touch. Sally Littlefield
FOR 2025 RESERVATIONS - WISH JAR:
If you'd like to make a reservation for next year my process is this: I collect guests’ Vacation Wishes in my “WISH JAR.” After the first of the Year, I start putting together my reservation board and contacting people about their preferred vacation times. The process will take several months as I figure my rates and the time slots that are available. I ask people to be as flexible as they can. I try to make everyone happy and sometimes ask people if they can juggle things around. This method has worked pretty well for many years. I have some guests who have raised their children here in the summer and who now have grandchildren. However, I always have a few spaces for people for whom this will be their first experience at this historic property.
In order to provide a day of "grace" for my housekeeper and myself at times, I’ve left a day or two between departures and arrivals so that has meant that my stays do not always start on a Saturday and end on a Saturday. I prefer not to rent on a short stay basis, but for a week at a time. This has worked well in the past. Thanks.
If you would like I will add your name and information (preferred vacation times, how many guests, children’s ages etc.) to my WISH JAR and be in touch as I get things organized after the first of the year.
