Magnificent Colonial Berkshire Home -

My family of six adults and three small children were very comfortable in this house. We used the Murphy bed in the library and it worked out well. Adjoining that room is a beautiful spa bathroom. We did not use the Jacuzzi because the water from the jets was rusty. The second floor is as described in the offering.

There is quite a range of eating options and we utilized all of them - eat in kitchen, traditional dining room where we ate by candlelight, two porch locations - one screened and one not, and a table by the pool.

The pool and grounds were very well maintained and the house was clean.All my contacts with the family were pleasant and prompt. When I inquired about a gate for the stairs, they purchased a new one and had it sent to the house before our arrival.

We had great weather for our week and used the pool every day. It was completely fenced with childproof gates. We got our own kiddie pool and awning for additional shade.

There is an upscale restaurant right down the road and they have a moderately priced pris fixe dinner midweek. My daughter and son in law said the food was excellent. We also had massages at a spa nearby. It was a beautiful facility and quite delightful.

One caveat - my son in law got a hefty speeding ticket in the area. A GPS is quite helpful on back roads and watch the speed limits.
