The More The Merrier Was Very Merry!

Laura is a fantastic communicator, we felt completely prepared for our stay in the days leading up to arrival. The house was very clean, homey, and we had everything we needed at our fingertips. I would recommend this property! Anna

Classy and comfortable

We stayed over Thanksgiving and used both the main house and the cozy cottage. It slept all of us very comfortably, with nice beds and very nice finishings. The pre-placed water bottles and tea were especially welcome! The owner was very responsive to all questions. Our only regret was it was too cold to use the outside amenities!
