There were 20 of us, ages 3-83, who converged on this house for our annual family-girls trip. Everybody had a bed, and we thoroughly enjoyed the large great room for crafts and conversation, the many seating areas on the big wraparound porch, and the lake - for boating and swimming. We were unprepared for the actual open-ness of the house: the walls of the main floor and 3rd floor loft area did not reach the ceilings, so any noise from the kitchen carried, making sleep difficult (for the little kids, and thus, for their mothers). The basement was a great area for the late-nighters who played games and talked without disturbing anyone. The kitchen has everything you'd need, and there was a huge grill which we used for one of our dinners. Most people took advantage of the opportunity to ride horses, and we were close enough to town to run and pick up items as we needed them.
