We all loved how creative the house was. The decor was super nice, had the plugs where you needed them in the bedrooms, kitchen fridge was big enough with the additional fridge in the garage (need that one also). We loved the screened in porch. We hung out there most of the time. The house was misleading from the street so I didn't think it was the house, but once I got out back I recognized it. Grounds were beautfiul. We got to see a blue heron eating fish and some deer. Overall a wonderful time, thank you for letting us in your home.
