"The host was very helpful with trying to accommodate an additional night, but in the end our flight limited our stay to the original dates. All 3 floors of the house were clean, orderly, and cleverly renovated to maximize space for groups. But floors could also be compartmentalized with separate entrance doors for lower, main, and upper levels for more privacy, if needed. The photos captured the inside well, and having a kitchen area on each floor was fabulous. The only suggestion I have is to post how the bedrooms and baths are laid out by floor in the write-up or in the photo caption (i.e., bedroom top floor). It helps in planning for those who aren't as agile anymore! My sister and I chose the main floor (2 beds, one full bath, kitchen, dining room, living room, and front porch access) to avoid stairs. The upper floor had 2 bedrooms and a futon-sofa in an open area, plus a full bath and kitchenette. The lower floor had a kitchen, living room, dining off the kitchen, laundry room, full bath, and 3 beds. Two of those bedrooms were only separated from the main bedroom by curtains, not doors. This is a good option for family members or close friends who will stay up talking or need less privacy. Each floor of the house was well set up for coffee, cooking, refrigerator, etc. Definitely a family-friendly home. It was a perfect location for the Schwarz Barn wedding venue, as well as checking out Highland. "
