The pictures of this home promise a beautiful abode...on presentation, I was stunned by the fact that it's even more beautiful and welcoming, in person. Driving up, I noticed the lights sparkling in the windows, welcoming a road weary traveler. When you open the door, you're hit by that indescribable "old home" scent that promises a warm history. Your eyes take a moment to adjust to the vision of modern amenities...the remote controlled gas fireplace, the big screen tv...the Viking gas range..the lights strung across the deck. Ahhhh...I just wanted to investigate every little detail..the Meyers hand cleanser that I had previously discovered as a top of the line cleanser...the 1 inch nativity characters crafted possibly by a local artisan...the live plants scattered throughout the home...and the resident kitty! You definitely won't be disappointed by the high quality washer and dryer in the laundry room just off of the master bedroom...the "chandeliers" over the dining room table and the upstairs hallway...the view overlooking the distant lights of downtown. Jennifer put thought into the furniture choices; the master bed enfolded you in a cozy nest ...the chair and loveseat in the computer room are designed ergonomically to maximize comfort (all it needs is a reading light over the seat and I could spend hours there with one of the varied books scattered in the home). There were plenty of tools, utensils, cookware, glassware in the spacious kitchen; there were several bottles of wine in the wine caddy that I didn't touch, thinking they were probably NOT for my enjoyment but a pretty touch, nonetheless. I even put Jennifer to the test, inadvertently, when I dashed out the door for a conference and locked myself out. She was very gracious when she called-to-the-rescue, saving me from further embarassment. I'm already looking at my calendar to see when I can rebook for a non-business stay! THANK YOU, Jennifer, for preparing a rental that feels as if I'm staying in the home of a friend!
