We felt like we were in a home away from home which was perfect for Thanksgiving with our family. As a lover of plants, I loved looking out the windows in the kitchen to the beautiful side garden and identifying all of the various house plants. We also loved checking out all of the art and artifacts in the house and appreciated the choice selection of books tempting us to read them. The kitchen had everything that we needed to cook and bake a full Thanksgiving meal and was super well organized and clean. We felt like we were staying in a house that had been well loved, designed, and cared for. We loved it too!!!
