Mike and Alan are outstanding hosts who embody a kind of archetypical hospitality. Their home itself has the feel of a museum, filled with interesting and thoughtfully curated objects and so exquisitely designed and cared for that you can hardly believe you're allowed to be there, but we were so warmly welcomed we had no problem feeling right at home at once. I traveled with my partner and another couple, and both of the bedrooms were comfortable and elegant. We made full use of the third floor party room, equipped with a well-stocked bar and not one but two deep, long, thickly upholstered window seats. I enjoyed my morning coffee in one of them, bolstered by about 6 pillows, reading my book while the rain fell outside and I can honestly say it was the peak book nook experience of my life. Mike and Alan's welcome tour of their home included a walk through their garden, which was so lush and exotic (banana trees! Koi pond!) we hardly missed the opportunity to explore Franklin Conservatory across the street. We didn't use the fire pit, but it was generously piled high with kindling should we have had the time to enjoy it. We did enjoy the hot tub, which was immaculate and so spacious it fit all 4 of us with room to stretch out. In the morning, I awoke to the aroma of strong coffee and freshly baked cinnamon buns. Everything about our stay was comfortable, thoughtful, and luxurious. 13/10 would recommend.
