We loved our gorgeous weekend at this lovely comfortable estate. We had 2 families with young kids and an au pair, plenty of beds for all, we all had space to find somewhere cozy to read, and of course there was plenty of room to play! The big lawn was great for baseball, kid bike riding and outdoor games. The TV room inside connected to the back porch was fun to watch baseball and the Celtics, and to play endless board and card games available at the house. The kayaks and paddle boat were a huge hit; we took a gazillion trips out on the lake and over to the rope swing and back. The kitchen was amazing and easy to cook for us all- and we enjoyed the inside and outside large dining tables. The adults also enjoyed gravel rides from the house-- we each went out in the surrounding areas/ around the lakes for a couple hours a day. We had easy access to groceries, nearby ice cream, and fun restaurants in Newport. It was just what the doctor ordered for adventure, R&R, and family bonding. Thank you Brendon and Deann!
