Our family, 6 adults and two young children spent two nights at Nate and Joan’s welcoming Eagle retreat. From the moment we entered the driveway, we were delighted by the beautiful and immaculately kept landscaping and the large, handsome house. We immediately felt welcome.
The house is perfect for gatherings such as ours. It has several really nice spaces for large groups to gather and to dine: upstairs, downstairs, inside or outside. There are also some nice small spaces for one or a few people to enjoy alone or together: a nice sitting room that overlooks the wetland area behind the house, the rocking chairs on the front porch and the exercise room. The five bedrooms are good-sized with comfortable beds, nice quality linens and lots of pillows.
Nate and Joan are responsive, accommodating hosts. The house was replete with nice little touches to provide comforts and delights, from the gift basket packed with snacks and sweet treats to a tic tac toe game with painted rocks as the markers and a stump as the board next to the playhouse in the back yard. There are boxes of toys for kids and books and games all. The kitchen is stocked with spices and all the utensils and space needed to comfortably prepare meals. We could go on. There was a lot to like. Nate and Joan obviously put a lot of thought and energy into providing an accommodating place to spend a relaxing stay. We thoroughly enjoyed ours. In the end, we have but one complaint –we didn’t arrange to stay longer.
