Fun family Thanksgiving retreat
Our family had a wonderful time at this interesting, unusual home. The kids loved all the fun decor, nooks and crannies, and extensive stomping grounds outside. They absolutely adored the “secret“ projection room; it became their main gathering spot. The adults mostly congregated in the large, comfortable living room, where we kept a wood-burning fire going almost continuously. The kitchen is excellent for large groups. We appreciated that there were plenty of plates, bowls, glasses, coffee mugs, and silverware to accommodate our group of 13. Plus it was stocked with every imaginable appliance and gadget a chef could want! The beds were very comfortable, with snowy white linens and nice warm covers. We were also obsessed with the massage chair in the master bedroom! It’s a huge house and very hard to keep the entire place spotlessly clean, I’m sure. It could stand a deep cleaning at some point, but overall it was nice enough. We would definitely come back to this fun castle!
