The Carriage House was cozy yet big enough to allow each of our family of four to be able to relax in separate rooms when we needed to rest and recharge during our vacation. The private parking space was a blessing - the only time during our trip we weren't hunting for a parking spot. Our host made sure to provide plenty of linens for the stay. The kitchen was great for saving us some money. We went to a nearby grocery and were able to make all our breakfasts at the house and several dinner/lunches. It is very close to the zoo- which is a must to see. My teens were excited to see there was an Apple TV so on a particularly rainy day, we could take a break from site seeing and watch a movie as a family.
