    “This is a wonderful house for a multigenerational family gathering.”

    It's beautiful, well appointed, in a glorious setting, and offers lots of different spaces for a large group. We were pleasantly surprised at how well set up the house was for children, including a playroom and outdoor games. Communication from the hosts was excellent.
