We can't say enough good things about the house! The design is impeccable and the property is peaceful and lovely. Our only regret was not staying longer! We look forward to going back again one day and will be sure to recommend it to anyone we know.
Beautiful house and all around good stay -looks like personal project of an architect (though owner is not). Out of the way, so very quiet - but short drive to local stores and restaurants. Nice deck with hot tub (which we didn't get to use) and comfortable in every way. As the sun set we sat in the lower level with a glass of wine and good jazz on the phonograph. The only limitation - if your older be sure your ok with the bed being a flight up in a lift. We are in our 70s and it was fine, but some might not want to climb.
