Lisa was friendly and helpful. She gave us a complete tour, including two cottages, and invited us for dinner at the formal restaurant. A current resident, Betty, invited us to sit at her table and we enjoyed her company and the conversation. Betty indicated she and her husband were very happy at Silvergate.
