This home was situated in a lovely neighborhood with beautiful well kept flowers lawn, dock, and wildlife. The home itself is perfect for large gatherings. Many beds, lots of space for youngsters to sleep play and romp outside. The kitchen had all the things for feeding large crowds. Appliances were new and niceThe beds themselves could probably do with an upgrade. While I appreciate the thought behind covered mattresses they were rather crinkly and kept the fitted sheets from staying put. Extra Linens were rather scarce but we had just enough but not extra. The thing that made the stay was a family history book left on the mantle. Somehow that story just seemed to draw us into their memories and unique history.

This home was perfect for our family trip. Had plenty of space for what we needed. The weather played to our favor and we were able to enjoy time out on the dock and a even a fire in the pit or last night. The peace at night was a welcome respite from the noise of our cities, and the bird chorus in the AM was a wonderful sound to wake to.We should have another graduation in a few years, and we hope to stay here again!

New set of cooking pans was awesome. Having a dining table we could seat 11 people around was great. The fire pit with the swings around it was great for evening camp fire and s’mores. It was a nice day and the kids enjoyed time boating. It was nice to have the boats right there and life jackets. The kitchen was nice to work in. We weren’t sure the dishwasher was getting things clean. After scraping them and washing a load there appeared to be food left on glasses. We just washed them by hand after that. Maybe a couple more dish towels would be nice. The only other things that may need to be addressed would be the living room and porch furniture is showing its age and you sink down into it. It’s hard to get out of. It may be time to think about replacing or updating it. Also several of the mattresses are at a point that they need to be replaced. The foam ones especially are showing age breaking up and flaking. It was a great setting for an awesome weekend! Several different areas we could gather in and spend time together. Would consider reserving it again next year. Thanks for sharing your space and making our yearly family weekend retreat a great place to be together. Awesome time!

FYI. There were quite a few stink bugs upstairs. A blind fell off a window upstairs. It was clearly broken already. We did not have enough towels in the house. Overall we were all in town for a wedding so it was good for what we needed. But please update those mattresses. Seem very old. And some sheets just did not fit. Thank you!
