The natural light that pours through the huge windows is such a delight. We needed space and the Lodge delivered. The stairs provided a workout. All restrooms are on the top floor. (With such a large kitchen and dining area, we wished a toilet was on the same level.) When people are speaking or working in the building, voices carry - you can hear the radio being played elsewhere. The artwork throughout the unit is whimsical and fun! The full-blown laundry unit was appreciated. If you plan on cooking, check with host for utensils. Cupboard space is limited and there was not a full set of measuring cups, nesting bowls, serving platters, for example. There was a warming tray which was fabulous and we used that. We noticed there is a ricer. There are separate thermostats for different areas of the unit which was really nice to have.
