We recently had the pleasure of staying at this property for Christmas with our children and grandchildren. There were 9 of us. The house was decorated beautifully for the holidays, with a shining tree in the front windows to greet us. There is a huge great room with rustic wood beams and plenty of seating for a family. Us grandparents loved the small sitting area next to the kitchen to get away from the noise, but still feeling like a part of the action.
We were there during a very rare cold snap and storm that went through. We got some snow for Christmas, but it was bitter cold (like minus 11). This caused some pipe freezing. I must say, the management team dispatched maintenence in the middle of the night to make sure we had water. Our kudos to Adam for taking such good care of us - to note, this meant bringing us water at 4am in the morning no less. My husband could have not taken care of us better than Adam did.
The kids - ages 7, 4 and 2 - enjoyed playing in the snow despite the cold - and my husband was able to walk down and check out the stream - which would be perfect for water play in the summer. Our 2 dogs, Shelties, also loved the large expanse of lawn and the freedom they so rarely get to run.
For families bringing small children, the upstairs back bedroom with 3 queen beds made a perfect spot for sleeping. It was isolated enough that the adults didn't wake them when playing board games at the large dining room table - and boy did we laugh and make noise (if anyone played Pictionary before, they can guess how much we laughed).
I can only imagine how wonderful it would be to stay here in the summer with the large deck, hot tub, and outdoor sitting areas and fire pit. This is a great place for families as the home is well loved and rustic - so no worries about breaking something or small spills.
