We had a great time at Chris' house. The place is spacious and our kids could have their own space and activities. The view outside the house is superb, we spent hours cooking and chatting in the dining room. The skies were clear in the couple of nights we stayed so we were lucky to see the skies full of stars. Amazing experience for all of us. We drove to the Redwood and Lorne, both are about an hour from the house. Communication with Chris was smooth, we did not get to meet Chris in person, check in instruction was clear. We highly recommend the place for those who seek quiet surrounding and big groups.
