Took our granddaughter for the weekend and it rained and stormed until Sunday morning - the day of departure! The accommodations were flawless except for 1 thing - the hideous wallpaper in the front bedroom. The eyes on the mushrooms freaked out my granddaughter so she took the master suite. ##### Joseph T.
