We were looking for a special destination to celebrate my 50th birthday, and Chip and Kim's house was the perfect choice. We had three families coming together-- 6 adults and 4 kids ranging from age 3 to age 12. The space is both beautiful and comfortable, very spacious but also cozy, and stocked with things to entertain children and adults alike (the foosball table was a big hit with all!). We were able to eat together at the large indoor table and also at the outdoor table, which has a large umbrella. The backyard is huge-- so much room for the kids to run around and play lawn games, and for the adults to relax in the Adirondack chairs and lounge chaises, which can also be pulled up by the fire pit. The house is also incredibly well appointed, with everything we could have possibly needed for our stay, from pantry staples and spices, to a great supply of food containers for packing a picnic or storing leftovers, to shampoo, conditioner and soap in every bathroom. Chip was a pleasure to communicate with, both super-responsive to my many questions and also proactive in terms of checking in to make sure we'd gotten in ok. He was easily reachable by text with questions during our stay, and it was clear how much he wanted us to enjoy our experience there. It was just the right amount of attentiveness.
The house is also in a great location, with so many interesting cultural attractions , lakes for swimming, places to hike, and great restaurants to eat at. We were able to fit in so many activities without the schedule feeling packed because it was easy to return to the house and enjoy some downtime between activities.
As beautiful as the house looks from the pictures, it's even better in person. The whole space was immaculate, the beds and sheets and ample towels were very comfortable, and everything is labelled so that it's easy to use the house and find exactly what you need. I can't recommend the house highly enough. We will definitely return! Thank you Chip and Kim!
