We meet each year in whatever city my conference is in. We completely enjoyed our stay but I would like to add a few things that stood out. One was that while the decor and feel was pleasant, it felt like a rental. There were several things I think would improve the stay. You should know that while there were three bedrooms they were all on separate floors. The top floor was obviously an add on and while it was okay, it was small and cramped. The middle bedroom was the only one with a closet and is on the main floor. The third was in the basement and seemed isolated from the rest of the house, there were three of us and so we slept on different floors. I would also point out there were no tissues throughout the house. I know this sounds picky but it makes a house more thoughtful for guests. ##### Bob R.
