Chip is a marvelous gatekeeper, who makes you feel comfortable. He has a collector's eye, a wonderful style, that's alive in every room. And he has some delightful stories if you want to wander along that path. He has taken special notice of every little detail about the accommodations. It felt like we were in an old-world boutique hotel in Europe. The house is a rambling, well-preserved Victorian mansion with an exquisite assortment of antique furniture, and an exotic melange of pictures, fabrics, Tiffany lamps and bric a brac. The apartment has linen sheets, thick rugs and there's a huge bathtub-for-two. There's a good small kitchen and a wonderful living room. It's a bit like visiting your grandmother's place and being left alone to play in private.
