Thank you, Maria, for sharing your lovely home with us. Plenty of room for 5 adults, a teenager, and a young girl full of energy. The beds were SO comfortable, and the dock got lots of use from the swimmers and fishing folks. We never found a paddle for the second kayak, but the kids had fun sharing the other one. Even though there are houses on either side of the property, it was very quiet and serene, and we felt like we were alone in a very relaxed and comfy atmosphere that was just what we were hoping for. We loved meeting the neighborhood foxes, and the girls even took the time to paint blessing rocks, which they “hid” outside. The house had everything we needed, except for a few items that we couldn’t bring with us. The grocery store seemed like quite a drive, but even that was a fun adventure with deer, and beautiful views to keep the kids occupied. It rained off and on one of the five days we were at Maria’s, but her home is so artfully and thoughtfully decorated we spent time playing I Spy and several board games. We would love to come back in the fall and see the lovely colors of the trees, and enjoy the beautiful fireplace.
