We arrived to a beautiful tree lined driveway. It was night so the lights under the trees were quite lovely. The house was much bigger than expected. We had a group of 9 adults and kids/teens, but it easily could have accommodated double. When we were away during the day, we couldn’t wait to get back to the house to spend time there- cook together, play games, hang out in the peaceful, private setting surrounded by trees. One evening we noticed fireflies blinking all around the yard! That’s a real treat for us- we don’t see those on the west coast. Definitely would come back!
