Chip lived up to his reputation for graciousness and warmth, and greeted us kindly on arrival, somewhat later than planned. His house is beyond fabulous and we were encouraged to explore all the public spaces and enjoy the ambiance. Our room was comfortable, the linens exquisite, with every comfort we could think to need. Breakfast was also a joy to behold, and he even accommodated my vegetarian daughter. Frankly, why would you want to stay any where else?
