The house and property surrounding were beautiful- exactly what we had hoped for. We love the charm and history of old houses so this place was right up our alley! We spent the long weekend enjoying time with our young kids- playing with the chickens, sled riding on the hill across the road, family time hanging out and playing games. The first full day there, the weather was in the 50s so we took that time to drive around and explore- the warm weather led to melting ice and some really beautiful scenery at the local parks, despite the constant light rain that fell most of the day. That night, there was a snow storm that came through laying a few inches of snow- enough that we could have fun playing and sled riding with the kids. Our last night there, the skies were clear and we were able to take in the stars (without a telescope). We've visited the area before but it's just as beautiful every time we are up there! Benn was very accommodating and friendly. He greeted us as we arrived and was great about communicating with me prior to our trip to ensure that we had everything we needed. We are definitely hoping to stay here again- maybe during the summer months so we can enjoy everything that the property has to offer during the warm weather season!
