First let me say that Tim was extremely accommodating to our family. He communicated every step of the way and squeezed our family in for the weekend. Our son was coming home from deployment and our grandchild was being baptized, so this was a very important weekend for us to be able to spend together as a family. Tim was supportive and caring and went above and beyond to help make this a memorable weekend.
The house itself, was absolutely stunning! There was a history lesson in every room. Our family enjoyed the entire experience. The rooms were all beautifully decorated in period style. The kids loved the chess sets! Although, the house is historic, it did have all the modern niceties, especially in the kitchen!
The kitchen was updated and had everything we needed. The stove was huge and allowed us to easily cook meals for 19 people. The 2 refrigerators provided plenty of space for our groceries. There were plenty of dishes and silverware, cooking utensils, etc..
The bedrooms were gorgeous and allowed plenty of sleeping space for our group of 14. The bedroom with the library was a favorite!
The dining room was spacious and elegant. We enjoyed gathering there for meals and games.
The bathrooms were soothing with large claw foot tubs and showers. Each bathroom was stocked with big, thirsty towels and washcloths, along with shampoo, conditioner, lotion, etc.. I felt very pampered! It was nice to have a washer and dryer in the house, too.
Outside of the home provided some nice and convenient things, as well. There was plenty of parking in the driveway. The porch was a nice place to sit and enjoy the fall weather and to rock my grandchildren. The tree's that surrounded it were interesting and pretty in their Autumn dress.
We enjoyed the town, too. It was quaint and we took several walks. There were plenty of shops, etc. within walking distance. It was nice to be within driving distance to a larger shopping center, too. Also, a short drive takes you to the beautiful rural countryside.
The house manager was wonderful, too! She was friendly and helpful. She, too, went out of her way for us.
I could go on, but space is limited : ) We will definitely go back! We are looking forward to returning for another stay.
I would also like to say thank you for the support of our military!
