A Christmas to remember
This was absolutely the perfect house for the ten of us. The house is gorgeous, the linens are superior. The hosts left the house decorated for Christmas and it was beautiful. We loved this old house and the history of it. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. It was a Christmas to remember.
