Perfect house, perfect venue
We rented this house and the cabin next door for the gathering of a group of college friends for a memorial service. It was a somber occasion, of course, but the location and the house and the grounds could not have been more perfect. More than anything, we loved sitting outside drinking coffee and visiting and watching the deer poke around. The owner was friendly and accommodating, and we had a lovely time, despite the sad circumstances.
beautiful property with paths to walk in nature. each bedroom has two twin or two double beds and it's own bathroom, wonderfully decorated, clean, common areas inside are small, but the wrap around porch provides plenty of chair and table space for all, lovely to sit outside, even in the heat due to the covered porch.
The Book house was overall a great place to stay for our memorial weekend getaway.
Plenty of rooms and beds for everyone. Not a far drive from downtown but still secluded enough to feel at one with nature with deer on the property.
Only issues we ran into were, when most of us showed up to check in, it was dark so we had to drive around the property and find the right house, since there’s no lights on the road leading up, it was a little difficult.
Also there were no trash bags or bins for us to dispose our trash in to so that made it difficult to clean up at check out and but we notified the cleaning staff as we left.
Reminder check out is at 10am not 11 which I overlooked, but didn’t seem to be an issue.
