Seagull Cottage Comments 2006:
“Chez Sven is simply the best. It is so peaceful and tranquil in winter. We very much enjoyed watching the birds, building fires, walking on the trail to Dyer Pond, and just relaxing.

“Dirt road (first sign of being off the beaten path), then organic gardens with perennials everywhere. I’m smiling … Chickadees that eat with a zest just a few feet from our heads, and that’s just the beginning. We so enjoyed our home away from home. Thank you, Sandy and Sven, for the full stack of firewood, wood floors, and organic bedding. We will be back!” Robin & Ron, Fair Haven, NJ
