Thanksgiving Weekend
We had great weekend celebrating one son’s birthday, one grandson’s secondary school graduation and family thanksgiving. Weather was rainy and cool but house so spacious and well appointed that we enjoyed our time indoors playing board games and visiting.

Great trip
The property is beautiful and the host responded to all my questions quickly. We had a wonderful time. The pictures don’t do the house justice. It is absolutely stunning. My only advice is to make sure you bring all beddings and towels including kitchen towels, dish clothes, hand towels, and bath mat. Thank you for a wonderful time and hope to return in the future.
