"Thanks so much for a very nice place to stay for my family, when we gathered with our extended family . We needed a few more bedrooms to sleep. Your place was very acomodating and very nicely deocorated for Christmas. The only thing is that the carpet was very soiled in the down stairs. I understand when you have a wedding party you would have a lot of tracking in on the carpet. It was a very nice quality carpet, just hopefully you clean it once in while. Thanks for a great stay. Sorry this is...

"The kitchen was great, making cooking for the group easy. There were plenty of dishes and utensils for our group. The dining room table was small for a group of 20+, so we were very glad we had taken folding tables and folding chairs along. We had an issue with a bedroom and bathroom getting accidentally locked, but the owner promptly made arrangements to have someone deal with that. The house had a beautiful Christmas tree that we all enjoyed. The house had only 5 private bedrooms but plenty...
