Just wanted to say that Ravenscroft was as nice as Melanie said it would be. It exceeded all of our family's expectations. We all had a very nice reunion, and yes, we went to the beach and to the vineyards, but mostly we enjoyed the house and the grounds - the pool, the spa, the tennis court, the fire place, and all the very nice places to sit and talk.
In addition, we were all impressed with the nice touches that were left for us - the fresh flowers in various rooms, the kitchen with "supplies" like the beer and soda, spices, etc, tennis balls, and probably many other things that don't come to mind right now. Even the chickens added a little extra that we were not expecting.
What impressed me the most was the way the home combined the new with the old. It all fit together very very nicely.
