We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this home for our son’s wedding weekend. We had our whole family there, ranging from my 97-year-old mother-in-law to our 2-year-old grandson, and it worked beautifully for everyone. The main floor master bed room was terrific.The house was clean, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. The kitchen was incredibly well stocked including a great coffee setup, which was appreciated by all of us! (We got in later than planned, near midnight. Waking up and finding a selection of coffee choices was really unexpected and was a great start to our stay.) The hot tub and sauna were such a nice bonus and gave everyone a chance to relax during a busy wedding weekend.The location was perfect: beautiful surroundings while still being very close to the grocery store and other conveniences. We even hosted the rehearsal dinner there, and it could not have worked out better.This home truly helped make a special family weekend even more memorable. We would absolutely stay there again and highly recommend it!Thank you,Jackie and John
