Spacious and perfectly appointed home. Hosts provided helpful information about the area and the house. We were in town for a funeral and they thoughtfully left condolence flowers for us. Kitchen had everything we needed for a family dinner. The living room is roomy enough for six adults to hang out with room to spare.
