The Magic 8 ball says “Stay Here”Staying at this house is different, it feels like a close friend or family member is letting you hangout, and truly left you things they thought you might need or want to use. There were plenty of towels and toilet paper, but also beach towels, and goggles, and good life jackets for toddlers to adults, and a few supplies you might need like sunscreen or a toothbrush. In the kitchen we found a wonderful welcome basket, some bottled water in the fridge, and the makings for s’mores in the pantry, along with all the things needed to cook and clean (and you didn’t feel like you had to wash everything before you could use it). All of the beds and pillows were actually comfortable. There were blackberries and blueberries for picking, and still to ripen apples. The kids in our group found the lake a bit cold for anything other than a quick jump, but enjoyed the pedal boat and fishing. They loved the game room, but also played with some of the games provided (the Magic 8 ball was a big hit!). We were there over the 4th of July, the house was decorated for the holiday, and we were treated to a community boat parade, and a competition between several neighbors for who could put on the best fireworks display. With all the space inside and outside, our group of eight was able to spread out and never felt crowded. A truly wonderful place! Thank you for sharing your home.
