My parents, my brother’s family and mine all were able to stay together for my siblings wedding weekend! We loved being able to hang out in front of the fire place during breakfast and at night. There were plenty of beds to suit everyone’s needs. The house is stocked with extra linens, lots of games, plenty of towels and was very beautiful and clean. Also we really appreciated the baby high chair and optional pack and play! Less to pack;) The only cons were the steep stairs for my toddlers as our room was on the third level. Thankfully our baby doesn’t crawl yet or I would have been a lot more concerned. Definitely something to consider for elders and small children. The only other con would be not being able to invite my best childhood friends into the house to play pool or visit with us (according to the house rules no one is to visit unless staying at the home or with prior approval, which I did not request due to time constraints) the owner Liz was very nice so I’m sure it wouldn’t have been a problem. We didn’t want to break any rules but the home would have been perfect place for friends to get together and play games. So this to us, since it was a wedding weekend out of state would have been nice to be able to enjoy friends and the house simultaneously. However, we do understand why this rule exists. Nevertheless, we absolutely enjoyed being able to stay at the same location, which allowed for spending a little more family time together. Thank you Liz!

This house was perfect for our weekend getaway with friends. Location was perfect- we walked into town each morning and loved how close it was to the water. The outdoor playground, upstairs playroom with toys, and ample kids gear throughout the house kept our six kids entertained the entire time a we feel very lucky to have found this place and would definitely come back again!
