“I hosted an intimate dinner party and workshop for 10 at Kaitlin’s, and it was absolutely wonderful. The kitchen was a dream. It was spacious, beautifully stocked, and perfect for cooking, especially since I came from another country to host. Kaitlin was so thoughtful and communicative, even leaving fresh fruits and flowers from the property. The dining space was gorgeous, easy for guests to find, with plenty of parking. The whole place has such a peaceful, inspiring energy. I’m already planning to host more events here and make full use of the beautiful grounds and kitchen!”
