By going directly to Green Gables I was charged that. Plus, while there I picked up a travel magazine for the county and found a coupon that saved us an additional $80! Janet, I think your good vibes for my "travelogues" helps me find these places and the discounts. 😃 There is a Playhouse Theatre on the grounds. There was another path and lots of lawn leading up to the pond for the Theatre. They also had a banquet room, so yes, it probably would be a great place for a wedding and reception. They had other rooms you could rent across the road that looked pretty nice, too--not as rustic as ours. $80 rent for a cat is really outrageous. They must be trying to discourage people from have pets. A large security deposit would seem much more fair. I don't know what Olivia's costumes will be this year. I'll let you know when I find out. I'll email you a photo if I can get one.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17103364860587388726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2504150188395321059.post-77681828298656913202016-10-22T17:51:03.587-04:002016-10-22T17:51:03.587-04:00Now aren't you glad you checked AirBnB? It was...Now aren't you glad you checked AirBnB? It was Serendipity - you were meant to be there! And WHAT A SPOT! Especially for you, the Travelog Lady. Beautiful area in all seasons I'm sure, but Fall has to take the cake! I wandered over the websites and decided that Green Gables would be the most wonderful place for a small wedding, wouldn't it? Especially in the Fall. Ten years ago, my middle sister ended up getting married by a judge in an office with just the immediate family present - mostly because her fiance was quite nervous about being the center of attention at a "typical" wedding. But before that, we had spent several months looking for a suitable, small & very quiet spot to have a nice small family wedding. Green Gables would have been perfect if it had been a little closer to home. And you didn't have to farm Gabriel out somewhere, so he had fun too! If I had pets, I'd hate leaving them behind. I think there probably more are more places that are willing to take pets these days, because I think MOST people would prefer bringing their furbabies along if they could. At my apartment complex, dogs are not allowed but cats are, except that the rent goes up $80 per month. After an initial $200 deposit. And that's BEFORE you start paying for cat food, litter, vets, toys, cat trees etc etc. Needless to say, not all that pet-friendly. Oh well, I do have some beautiful houseplants that I love - and sometimes even talk to! LOL. Enjoy the rest of October - the very best month of the entire year! PS - has Olivia got her Halloween outfit yet? My niece was 2 weeks old for her first Halloween, and my mother managed to find newborn flannel pumpkin PJs with feet and a little orange cap with a green "stem" for her. Those pictures are priceless now! 🎃Janet Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04754470262654502312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2504150188395321059.post-20936695515888894712016-10-22T15:45:50.542-04:002016-10-22T15:45:50.542-04:00No, we've not stayed at the Castle B&B, bu...No, we've not stayed at the Castle B&B, but we have been to Cumberland.

A few years ago, on a weekend to Cumberland, we stayed at The Castle B&B in Mount Savage. Have you been there? Quite different from your "dollhouse".<br />I think the stairs are a bit off putting for me, but I'm glad you went and shared your lovely adventure.

We get the giant puffballs in our woods--the size of a soccer ball sometimes. I just read in our newspaper that they are edible if you get them before brown spots show up on them--that part is poisonous! So we've left our fungi alone. Whenever I encounter them, though, I always think of Beatrix Potter.
