We just returned from a fantastic Labor Day week at Piper House & I will fully attest that it is just as wonderful as the pictures & reviews make it seem! This was our first family vacation with our 8 month old daughter, my mother, father, & sister-in-law traveling from England, & my parents traveling from Ohio.
The layout of the main house was absolutely perfect for the 8 of us. Everyone had an appropriately sized bed & there was room to set up the pack & play for our baby to nap & sleep comfortably in the flop room with us. The bedrooms are arranged in separate wings of the house & there are white noise machines in every room, so you don't hear a peep if someone goes to bed early. The beds & all linens are top of the line & so comfortable that found myself looking at tags to make note of brands to purchase for my own home!
The bathrooms were private & well stocked with towels & toiletries- no need to bring your own shampoo, conditioner, or soap unless you're really attached to it.
The kitchen was more than well stocked & literally EVERYTHING is labeled, making it super easy to find what you need & return it where it came from. The family room was comfortable with a fantastic view of the lake & the furniture provided an easy, entertaining path for our little one to cruise all over. She really enjoyed banging on the kitchen chairs & crawling under the table to see which grandparent would follow!
The home is lovely inside no matter where you are, but my favorite space by far was outside. The screened-in patio, fire pit, dock, swing set, & lounge areas were comfortable & exactly what we needed to take time away from our busy lives to just enjoy each other's company. We didn't get the chance to use the hot tub, but it looked well-maintained & clean. The hammocks were cozy & provided a nice place to relax under the canopy of mature trees. We had breakfast on the patio every morning & played games or just chatted with our favorite beverages every night. The ceiling fan provided much-needed relief when it got too toasty!
As if the property wasn't good enough by itself, all communication with the owner was outstanding! I had the pleasure of messaging with Heidi about our trip & she was so kind to leave a basket of age-appropriate toys out for our daughter. You can really tell they poured their hearts into this home & truly enjoy offering it to others. There should be more people like this in the world. Thank you so much for all the memories!
