I was once like you, sifting through pages of vacation rentals – wondering …is it worth it?
5 of us (adults) stayed at ‘The Hub’ and here is our collective assessment. The floor-plan is spacious with an open airy feel. It’s new construction with the latest technology – Fast WiFi, LED lights, ALEXA, illuminated fireplace, and 6 cord charging station with adapters for all kinds of phones/electronics. The interior design is impressive – obviously put together by someone who pays attention to detail. Just enough furniture to accommodate all our needs – yet not so much that the place feels cluttered.
We had 3 people cooking in the kitchen and no one was in the others way. We could sit 6 comfortably at the dinner table, but managed to squeeze in 8. Afterwards the table easily folds up, so 4 of us could play cards. There are little niceties tucked away everywhere. Coffee cups with witty phrases and large handles. A basket of fragrant blankies for living room lounging. The beds are comfy, warm, and extra blankets were in each bedroom. There were even night light’s, which can be turned off/on.
It has a fully stocked kitchen – EVERYTHING – you could possibly need. Pots, pans, dishes, silverware, cookware, cutting boards, knives, coffee cups, and beer/wine/margarita/shot glasses. There were enough place settings for 20+ people. Someone exclaimed, there is more in this kitchen than I have at home! Extra towels in every bathroom – including soaps, shampoos, and cleaning supplies. We could have even done our own laundry before leaving. Every need was looked after.
We had extra friends come to visit, including a small baby – the house easily accommodates 12-15+. (We cleared our extra visitors in advance) However, plan on sleeping 2 couples, 1 adult (trundle bed), and 3 kids as the bunk beds are designed for people 5’ or shorter. All in all it was a very pleasant experience. We initially considered using the Best Western in town, but for a few dollars more - we were all able to gather together in a common place & enjoy each other’s company the weekend.
Oh’ …and the highlight was the herd of 14 deer walking though the backyard while we were having Saturday lunch. (Wink-Wink) How ‘The Hub’ managed to stage that ~ is beyond us, but it was a treat for those who don’t get to see deer very often.
