The pond is filled with lilypads and as we watched, a heron perched on a tree branch and eventually on the shore of the pond. The pool and hot tub were clean and the perfect temperature. Inside, the home is very spacious with large, comfortable bedrooms. The kitchen was stocked with all one could need for cooking; there were plenty of dishes, plates, pans, glasses, and flatware to accommodate our fifteen people. We loved having meals around the large table! The children loved the lower level with the many games and the large comfortable couch. I can't think of anything lacking in this accommodation. We loved it. ##### Philip H. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher D.
