Great stay

What a great place to gather with extended family for our mom/mother in law’s services. Two families of four were able to stay here comfortably, while also having other family come over for a meal, etc. The house has two large sitting areas, one on the main floor and another on the second floor. Lots of little nooks and crannies around the house to sit, relax, and spread out. The bedrooms were a little bit misleading, but we made it work. There is one bedroom with a daybed on the ground floor. This bedroom also is a walk thru to the back door and has the only first floor bathroom attached. Second level has 3 bedrooms; 1 king, 1 queen with an attached bedroom with 2 twins. Third level has 2 bedrooms; 1 queen and 1 with 2 twins. The second level sitting room has two futons. Overall, it is a great older, historic home with updated bathrooms and kitchen.

Incredible!

This house is absolutely stunning, inside & out! Games/toys/puzzles puzzles offered to keep the kiddos entertained. Great entertaining space throughout the entire property. Everything was clean and plenty of kitchen amenities for use. The woodwork and detail inside are just phenomenal and so glad to see everything preserved.

Unique large house great for groups

The house was great for our stay and we really enjoyed it! Was perfect for a trip to lake swanson with extended family. It is very unique and full of character (decor and furniture to match the style and age of the house). The kitchen is well stocked with dishes and dining room could accomodate our group (had 17 for meals). Nice back patio area with seating as well. We had 13 people staying overnight and there was room for everyone, however had to use a queen air mattress provided to avoid people sleeping on couches/futons. The listing says it sleeps 20 but I think only if people were sleeping on couches and futons (or perhaps kids on padded windowsills). It showed a room with 3 twin futons, however there are only 2 and they would not be comfortable to use as beds, especially for an adult. It worked well so overall very pleased but feel this might be helpful for other large groups, especially if it's all adults.

Family Get Together

My husbands parents owned this house in the late 80’s and early 90’s. We thought it would be fun to get together for a weekend reunion with his siblings and our children as well as his parents. The house didn’t disappoint and brought back great memories for them. It was clean, comfortable and welcoming. The kitchen was well stocked with pots/pans…. Everything worked as it should have and we had a great time. We all talked about doing it again in the future!

Family funeral

The house was great, particularly for large groups. We even hosted lunch for 30 one day. We struggled to see how it sleeps 20. We had 17 and all the kids slept with their parents, and we had 2 in recliners. We loved all the outdoor spaces avaiable to gather, although the back porch lights either didn't work or blinked in and off. Would definitely use again.
