Our three-generation family vacations together in a different location in the U.S. each year and this lovely, historic home played a significant role in this year’s adventure. None of the house’s modern amenities have compromised its 250 year-old charm—from the grand piano in the oversized living room, to the comfy beds with fluffy down duvets, to the formal dining room that easily accommodated our family of eleven for evening meals, complete with three sets of high-end dishes for our use and an oversized original 150-year Edward Coates painting over the fireplace. The house features a well-stocked and updated kitchen and laundry area, 4.5 updated bathrooms, and central air. The adults marveled over the antiques and the architecture while the grandkids spent hours in the pool, and playing cornhole and wiffle ball on the immense side yard. The large grounds are remarkably well-kept and over-look a large pond — believe it or not, with its own swans. But in spite of the property’s size, great morning lattes are just a quick walk away at The Fig Tree. From the day we booked the house a year ago, communication with Dennis has been exceptional and it was nice to finally meet him when he greeted us and gave us a tour of the property. It’s an easy group consensus that of all the Vrbos and their destinations we’ve experienced in the last 15 years, this home is our favorite.
