Our daughter earned her doctorate and our family and friends gathered for a celebration. The location of the house was perfect - on a safe quiet street (aside from the construction going on next door on a new home) with plenty of restaurants, food stores and retail stores practically a stone's throw away. The home itself was pretty cool. Lots of sleeping room - 3 bedrooms which slept 2 people each, one w/ 4 twins, and an awesome master bedroom in the quietest part of the house which had doors that opened up to the back yard. The beautiful master bathroom w/ an awesome shower also had a door that opened up to the back yard. The house is beautifully decorated w/ very unusual pieces. The kitchen was stocked with quality cooking tools, serving bowls, platters, etc. The best part of the house is the backyard. Great pool and lounging chairs for sunning. My favorite part was the 15 person picnic table under a pavilion over the water. We spent lots of time there - and the benches were so wide that you could be sitting in the back and simply walk on the bench behind everyone to exit so you never got trapped or had to make everyone get up so you could exit. Silly thing to comment on but it really was genius. I loved that the house was on a river and the kayaks provided got a lot of use. Nice sound system throughout the house too. It was everything we wanted and more.
