If you're like us, you're probably all too familiar with (and maybe even tired of) run-of-the-mill options for booking group accommodations or space for an event or gathering.
That's EXACTLY why we founded First Place...
The place Strathmore can count to be your home away from home, with boutique comfort and charm and amenities unmatched by traditional venues.
Our 2,180 sq ft character home sleeps 14, has a full kitchen and is equipped with the features and comforts of home.
Elegant, versatile and functional, our open-concept layout and magnificent Great Room provide the perfect location to gather, connect and celebrate!
In the spring and summer months, you’ll also have our expansive patio and stunning outdoor space to enjoy during your stay or as the perfect backdrop to host the event of your dreams.
And this is truly just the beginning...There's SO MUCH more in store we are giddy to share and want to keep you IN THE KNOW!
