Incredible weekend at a perfect house. This is one of the best homes we have ever stayed in: clean, perfectly laid out, well stocked kitchen and all the yard games and puzzles you could ever need. We all slept in as the beds were so comfortable with soft sheets. And the library has a great wide variety of books to dive into. We had the best weekend and wish he had been able to stay longer.

The property is wonderfully idyllic and peaceful. Loved the screened-in porch and would sit out in the early morning hours and watch the deer, herons, cranes,bunnies, etc. Wish that we could have stayed longer!!
