As soon as we drove up the drive, we knew we were going to love being there! Cheerful garden flowers made the views looking in or out of the big picture windows lovely. I have missed this part of the country so much that I felt as though the beautiful, mature birch trees in the spacious front yard were singing to me to come back outside and enjoy a nap under their canopy later on (which I made time to do). But there was so much yet to explore. There was a lovely mix of feeling secluded, being nestled in between an expansive front yard and the privacy of the woods in back, with deer passing through several times each day; but since we saw the occasional car drive by, we didn't feel completely isolated. The back yard and patios were very private and comfortable where the sounds of nature were soothing. We appreciated all the amenities provided...hot tub, several levels of decking with flowering baskets and seating options, Adirondack styled chairs encircling the backyard fire pit (that I'd like to come back and enjoy someday), a private, meditative nook for quiet privacy, and there was also laundry facilities provided. The kitchen was so clean, comfortable and outfitted with everything we needed, along with thoughtful touches that made us smile. Arriving later in the day, we didn't stop at a grocery store, but no worries...there was not only tasty goodies to nosh on in the fridge, but there were wrapped chocolates in a bowl next to a bottle of wine and fixings for a spaghetti dinner. There's nothing better than that to welcome weary travelers, unless it's seeing and feeling that every room was spotlessly cleaned. It was just the two of us, but it would totally accommodate our family or group of friends because there was plenty of room to spread out and have fun. We would love to return again and bring our family.
