While we had a good idea about the home’s layout from the many photos posted on the Website, it was even lovelier in person. The home is so bright and airy. Of course we were fortunate to have 11 days of sunny weather. The home is perfect for families. Our vacation brought together our two sons, their wives and five children total.
The open layout on the main floor was the home’s best feature, with its beautifully equipped kitchen and table large enough to accommodate all of us at dinner (there are two extra leaves). The pantry was the most well-stocked of any place we have stayed. Do check it out, before doing any grocery shopping! We are a family that enjoys cooking, and there is counter space enough for both chefs and sous chefs. Another welcome plus: no screens on the first floor. So nice to enjoy dinner together with conversation.
The bedroom in the converted attic was ideal for us (the grandparents). It has a TV, but we never turned it on (too much to do). The 2nd floor has three bedrooms, which worked well for the four girls who shared two bedrooms, with third for one son and wife.
The lower level space worked well for the only boy as well as having bedroom and bath fro other son and wife. This space is also the play space for the kids, and has a flat-screen TV, and even a mini-kitchen. The door opens to the small but pretty backyard, with blueberries and tomatoes that we picked It even had a soccer net and ball; much appreciated!
In the evenings, the comfortable seating on the small back deck was a great place to review the day’s adventures.
