I was invited, as well as a few other families, by the owners of Weeping Willow, to spend a weekend getaway in the mountain during the month of Oct. We arrived late at night and the house had great curb appeal since it was all lit up.
As we entered we were greeted by a wonderful aroma of something cooking in the kitchen. Our host welcomed us in and escorted us up to our rooms. We were then invited down stairs were we were offered a bowl of soup, imported cheeses, olives, and crackers to enjoy in the raised granite counter top in the kitchen.
As we passed through the rooms the house unfolded into a warm welcoming home. The kitchen was spectacular with a built-in butler pantry, stainless steel appliances and plenty of granite table top space, there is a large family room with comfortable leather sofas and blankets, that was all that I needed to assure me that I was going to enjoy my weekend getaway. We watched a few movies on the large HDTV as other guest arrived. Our host was very attentive, responsive to every need, including an extra portion of soup.
In the morning, I was awakened to the smell of fresh brewed coffee. As I made my way down stairs to the kitchen I could smell the bacon and I could see all the folks that had arrived the night before helping out with the breakfast preparation. All hands were on deck and the kitchen was not over crowed.
It was a beautiful fall day and as you stepped out onto the front porch you were drawn to the view of the mountains and the colorful fall foliage confirming the beginning of a new season, it was breathtaking.
We spent our time eating, watching TV, playing board games, eating some more and resting our souls. I could not have a better weekend with such nice people in such a comfortable home.
If you are looking for rest and relaxation you will find it at Weeping Willow, I recommend it for all age groups.
