"This beautiful home far surpassed our expectations. The furnishings were lovely and comfortable, and the surroundings were magical. We loved sitting on the porch, watching the sun glance through the tree tops at sunset, and later in the evening, watching the fireflies dance along the forest's edge". Kathy of Chicago
