Our family of 18 from 4 states met for some time to reconnect; ages 12 to 78. The lay out of the house made it easy to have the space needed to have privacy and a space to gather. We brought a puzzle and games, so a lot of time was spent enjoying each other. The Internet connection was great- but we encouraged people time. There was a well stocked kitchen with plenty of refrigerator space (but bring extra ice). The pool/ ping pong table space in the basement was great for the younger ones. We traveled in late June and the weather was fairly cool for that time of year so we really enjoyed the large deck on the back of the house. (Not too hot! ) We also enjoyed the dock by the pond with canoes/kayaks and great fire pit area. It was a little chilly for swimming, but the water was very clear!!! The adults also enjoyed a tasting at the winery. It is a beautiful, peaceful, quaint location. There is a small grocery store about 4 miles away... we traveled to Spencer to pick up a larger amount of supplies, and spend a few hours. It is a quick-easy 20 minute drive. One late afternoon we headed to Aronolds Park for a free concert and supper. It also was an easy drive ( less than an hour). I would highly recommend this location if you want a space that is away from a lot of people, and appreciate nature. There is a sheep farm located not far from the house ( you can't hear them), but the flies inside and outside the house were annoying. There are also a few small general maintenance items that need to be addressed, but overall it was a wonderful spot! Clean and well supplied, and a great fit for our family. Shelia, Lory, and Tyler were helpful and kind. Thanks for a great stay.
