Our stay at John's place was lovely. He's got a spacious and inviting home that was nearly perfect for our group of 9. (I say "nearly" because the only downside we noticed was that the kitchen could have used some more plates, silverware, and baking dishes for a group our size. Not a big deal, though, especially for a smaller group.) The back yard is great, the hammock is comfortable, the atmosphere of the place is relaxing and enjoyable. I only wish we could have gotten a chance to talk with him a bit more!
