Our family- 8 children- spouses, significant others, and grandchildren totaling 20- gathered for Thanksgiving week, checking in Tuesday and checking out Saturday morning. We had plenty of room, and having two kitchens was definitely a huge plus for cooking Thanksgiving dinner and storing food for the week.
Communication with the owners was excellent, and questions were answered quickly. They came over to introduce themselves and make sure we were settled, and asked if there was anything else we needed. We did have one issue that needed attention right away, and they were over within15 minutes to resolve it.
The main kitchen was fully stocked with dishes for 18, and many appliances and serving dishes. We did find a few things lacking. There were only 2 mixing bowls, which when doing a lot of holiday cooking, was not enough. Having a few more would have been very helpful. Also there were no dish cloths/rags, only sponges, and no basic cleaner for wiping down the counters. We assumed all the cleaning supplies were locked, but a basic anti bacterial spray cleaner in the kitchen is needed. These things were only minor inconveniences and did not hamper our stay.
We loved the view, the hot tub, and the grandkids loved watching the resident deer who often made an appearance. We had a great time, and appreciate the owners providing a beautiful large home to allow big families and groups a cozy place to gather.
