Karen's house is really unique in its design and layout. There is a great article documenting the work done on the house and the design intentions. Worked perfectly for our family of 4. Located 2 miles from downtown made it easy to get around and the neighborhood is fairly quiet and peaceful. The house does have small stone on floors throughout, and Karen has provided slippers in the entry way if needed. I was fine, but my wife chose the slippers. Pool and Hot tub are good for small families/groups. House had everything we needed for a weeklong visit. The upstairs bedrooms felt more like a clubhouse to our kids. Karen was attentive to everything that we needed during the visit and we would definitely stay here again.
