Great house for large groups

We had Thanksgiving at this house and it was big enough for all of us. It’s old and has a lot of character. It was very clean. The driveway isn’t great.

Big orange house

We followed the check out instructions which told us to put all used towels in the washer and run it before leaving. When we put the towels in the washer there were already some towels in there presumably from the prior occupants.
