Our family spent a delightful Thanksgiving in this beautiful home. It is a very spacious house, with three lovely gathering spots. The one on the lower level was well used by the kids - there is a pool table, foosball, air hockey and other games that I know nothing about but the kids were very happy. We had cold weather while there so we made good use of the fireplaces - generously, there was firewood we could use - often renters have to buy wood in bundles at the supermarket but not here, and it was nice and dry. The beds are very comfortable, bathrooms plentiful and two bedrooms connected which made a nice suite for our daughter and her family. The setting is very nice, and a supermarket, coffee shop and excellent restaurant are all just at the bottom of the hill. Kitchen is so well equipped - we pulled off a real Thanksgiving meal easily. Also it was great to have access to the garage which made unloading and loading the cars very easy. We highly recommend this home.
