A beautiful home and a feast for the eyes!
We were a group of six family members traveling to Mansfield Center, Connecticut to attend the celebration of life for a dear family friend. I found this house on Vrbo and it looked perfect for our needs.The owners were fabulous to communicate with and were most gracious and welcoming.Potential guests, however, should be advised that this is the owners' actual home. It threw us off a bit as we entered the home and it became obvious that this was an actual home that the owners live in. When I questioned her about this, she explained that they go to a lake cottage in NH when they rent out their home. I suggested that they may want to include this information in their home description on VRBO. The only other thing we noticed that was "different" was that there was no televsion in the common area of the house which includes the living room, dining area, and kitchen. There are, however, televisions in all of the bedrooms. With us being a sports-oriented group, there were times we would have liked to all watch a baseball game together during our leisurely time.Those are my only two suggestions to the owners of this beautiful home. Truly, they are wonderful people. The home is large, welcoming, and immaculate, and the grounds are beautiful. The front porch was my go-to place for morning coffee! I would rent this home again in a heartbeat!
