Inside of this home and outside, there is beauty everywhere! In the kitchen, you will see lavishly painted chairs at a charming, large table; on the wall, you might see the larger-than-life self portrait of the owners' daughter; on the table before the giant picture window, you might find a beautiful sculpture of a wren. No corner is left without whimsy and creativity.
This is not a 5 Star hotel accommodation, it is a home. You will not find thick Egyptian towels, expensive soaps and a spa, but what you will find will stay with you forever.
Beyond the creativity of the owners is the landscape. No matter what the season (we visited in Autumn this year) the lake never disappoints. The night we arrived was blustery and cold, with whitecaps everywhere. The next morning, the lake was more calm, and a gorgeous green. That evening, the lake turned to diamonds before a stunning sunset. In the Summer, the outdoor spaces are terrific! Private beach, several tables and chairs, even an outdoor bathtub! Also on the grounds, lots of playing areas for young children (swings, large sculptures, a chess board).
If you are lucky, you might get a chance for a drawing lesson with Wendy. She believes everyone has taken for drawing (I never thought I did) and believe me, she is such a talented and dedicated teacher, by the end of your lesson you will believe her! You will actually create some small masterpieces of your own to take home.
Honestly, this is the most welcoming, beautiful place I have ever seen on VRBO. The town is close, lots of restaurants to choose from, but a well-appointed kitchen and wood-fired pizza over are on the grounds. We even had an impromptu tea party, with home-baked scones, marmalade, clotted cream and radish sandwiches -- such a lovely afternoon.
If you value creativity, beauty and whimsy, this is definitely the place for you. Art is everywhere you look and if you are lucky, you will even find it within yourself!
