What a wonderful retreat!
My family traveled from four corners of the country to gather at this lovely home for Thanksgiving 2019. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the property immensely. I certainly encourage others to enjoy this wonderful home.
We were 10 adults and 3 children (3months, and two 3 year olds). As described on the site, the property accommodated us rather perfectly -- everyone was more than comfortable in their rooms (we had four couples and two singles); each had their own bathrooms and were otherwise able to find quiet when they wanted.
The house was great and full of wonderful places to gather for various activities -- reading by the fire; poker/card table, darts and billiards in the game room (replete with an outstanding bar); a lovely baby grand piano, and a big kitchen for cooking, gathering and eating. The dining room was spectacular (and the table was set beautifully for our Thanksgiving meal prior to our arriving, which was so nice!), and more than accommodated our party of 13. The houses' ability to keep us all occupied was important-- end of November can be cold which limits outside activities a bit, so having things to do inside was key. Many of us got a huge kick out of the movie theater, which, as billed and pictured, consists of a huge screen and awesome surround sound, and warm, cozy, large chairs to sit and watch. A movie buff might not find any reason to leave that room.
The grounds were lovely and well kept, and we enjoyed taking walks to nearby farms -- the children got a big kick out of the Shetland pony down the way, as well as the cows and horses. For city dwelling children especially, this was a big treat, though the adults enjoyed it too!
Lastly, Bill and Mona were lovely to communicate with prior to our stay (helping us to understand our local surroundings, including places to eat and shop, answering questions about the property and suitability to our party), and were continuously helpful with questions and answers both prior and during our stay. Brian, the property manager, was also super nice and helpful throughout our stay.
We really couldn't have asked for more thoughtful hosts and are grateful that they opened up their home to us.
I recommend this property without hesitation.
