What a fabulous house. We celebrated Thanksgiving which is a tradition to take the weekend and spend time together. This is our favorite location yet. It is very well stocked for cooking which is always a treat. The bedrooms are exceptionally comfortable and there are thermostats in every room. So each person's preferences for temperature are available. Really awesome experience! Thank you so much!
