Plenty of Space in a Good Location
First of all, I have to acknowledge the assistance of the owner who, when she learned of the dicey situation we found ourselves in, really worked to make the house available to us for three weeks on very short notice. The house was cleaned well and could easily have accommodated our entire family of eleven, although we never had more than seven people in the house at the same time. The house has great bones, with plenty of spaces where family could either gather together, or anyone could steal away for some alone time if needed. The neighborhood is lovely and the creek running through the backyard lent an ambiance we didn't know about in advance but very much enjoyed. There's a little park near the entrance that our grandchildren enjoyed although, to be fair, it's not within walking distance. The location allowed for great access to shopping and main roads without being in the midst of any congestion or traffic--a real plus both for access to groceries and our family nearby in Elgin, but also for quiet and peace of mind for relaxing and sleeping at night. Several of us have food allergies which requires most dining be done in-house rather than at restaurants. The kitchen had nice appliances and almost everything we needed to fix meals from roasts to pizza, and there were a few condiments and spices in the frig and cupboards so we didn't have to start at ground zero for cooking. Overall, a good stay that met our needs!
