We stayed here for our wedding weekend and it was the perfect place for our bridesmaids to get ready the morning of the wedding and for our friends from out of town to crash the night of. Everyone was able to spread out when getting ready that day and we were able to do it without disturbing any of our out of town guests downstairs that had their children with them. Even though it rained the morning of the wedding, you'd never know from our photos getting ready at the house because of the big windows in front allowing for all the natural light to come in! Greg and Chrissy are fantastic hosts, everything immaculately clean and we can't recommend enough! ##### Kristen F.

The kitchen was well appointed although, truth be told, there were so many great restaurants nearby than it saw mainly breakfast duty.
