The house is lovely and provided our large family plenty of room for our vacation. It’s so difficult to find a home that sleeps 8 AND provides dining space and living room seating for 8. We were very comfortable here. The home also has some beautiful historic touches and was fun to explore. This property definitely has the feel of a permanent rental rather than a family getaway that is rented out when the family is not using it. As such, has more of a hotel feel than a homey feel. Not bad or good… up to your personal preference. Heads up… kitchen is stocked with the basics… if you plan on cooking more than a night or two, think about bringing items you may need beyond basic pot/pan/salt/pepper…. Austin & Co. were very responsive to our inquiries.
