Property is beautiful, very private and quiet. Kitchen is well equipped and house overall is spacious enough for a large group. Our only complaint was that there is no eight person table (indoor or out) to share a meal together...seemed odd for a house that sleeps eight. With only seven of us, we squeezed together at the kitchen gathering table using a stool from the basement, and the dining and outdoor tables using other chairs so we made it work, but that might not be comfortable for 8 larger people. Happy to find a functioning hot tub since occasionally they are advertised but not maintained, and they even provided towels for it which was a nice bonus. Coffee every morning on the front porch, drinks on the deck every evening: the place is a perfect spot to relax...we weren't in a hurry to hike or sightsee since the view of the Presidential range is spectacular right from the house. Adequate services (grocery, coffee shop, bakery) in nearby Lancaster, not many restaurants close by but we only ate out once. We prefer being outside of all the hubbub of a tourist area so this location was perfect for us. Plenty of outdoor activities to do (hiking, fishing, kayaking, biking) for the week within a 5-30 minute drive. We don't usually repeat vacation rentals, but we all hope to come back here!
